Polymer-Stabilized Micelles Reduce the Drug Rapid Clearance In Vivo

Figure 1

Scheme of polymer-stabilized PEG-PE micelles and nonpolymer-stabilized PEG-PE micelles. The polymer incorporation may interlace the PEG-PE unimers and reduce the dynamic exchange of the unimers and therefore enhance the micelle stability in vitro and in vivo.
