Fast and effective mitochondrial delivery of ω-Rhodamine-B-polysulfobetaine-PEG copolymers

Abstract Mitochondrial targeting and entry, two crucial steps in fighting severe diseases resulting from mitochondria dysfunction, pose important challenges in current nanomedicine. Cell-penetrating peptides or targeting groups, such as Rhodamine-B (Rho), are known to localize in mitochondria, but l...
