Lots of chemical info but perhaps most interesting is:
B. Applications for Modified Polyhydroxylated Polymers
This strategy for the synthesis of modified polyhydroxylated polymers has many applications including the delivery of bioactive materials, including but not limited to polynucleotides, polypeptides, proteins, peptides, organic molecules, antibodies, vaccines, antigens, genetic agents, small drugs or therapeutic agents, into the cytoplasm of phagocytic cells, site of inflammation, tumor tissues, endosomes, or other sites of low pH. Thse materials can also be fashioned into bulk materials such as sutures, scaffolds, and implants.
