By collaborating with Prof. Zi-Chen Li and Prof. Fusheng Du, the two groups developed a simple formulation leading to facile generation of tandem pH-responsive protein nanogels. This nanogel is able to deliver the cargo protein to the cytosol in a traceless fashion. This technology may help the delivery of numerous protein drugs acting on target intracellularly. The paper is available online now.

Jingsong developed a S-Sn Lewis pair for the ROP of NCA, which can afford ultrahigh molecular weight polypeptides with well-define end group functionality, allowing facile bioconjugation. This is his second paper in 2018. Let’s expect more coming soon.
