5. Polymeric micelle drug delivery carriers provide possible therapies for many diseases that
are diffi cult to treat. The carrier materials used for preparing micelles include not only
amphiphilic block copolymers, but synthetic and natural materials such as polysaccharides
and proteins. New concepts and functions are under investigation to make micelle carriers
more intelligent and effective. Besides traditional cytotoxic agents, micelles are used to
incorporate genes, photodynamic agents, antibodies, peptides, and proteins.
