Abstract

Back Cover: The authors have created polymers which release insulin using light. These materials utilize insulin itself as the primary monomer and therefore achieve a very high density (85% w/w insulin). This near perfect density makes them ideal as photoactivated depots of insulin. Further details can be found in the article by Bhagyesh R. Sarode, Piyush K. Jain, Simon H. Friedman on page 1138.

Keywords: click reaction; depot; insulin; photoactivation.
