An Investigation of PS‐b‐PEO Polymersomes for the Oral Treatment and Diagnosis of Hyperammonemia

Ammonia‐scavenging transmembrane pH‐gradient poly(styrene)‐ b ‐poly(ethylene oxide) polymersomes are investigated for the oral treatment and diagnosis of hyperammonemia, a condition associated with serious neurologic complications in patients with liver disease as well as in infants with urea cycle disorders. While these polymersomes are highly stable in simulated intestinal fluids at extreme bile salt and osmolality conditions, they...
