The physicochemical properties of new drugs are important factors regarding whether they will be successful in vivo. A number of criteria have been empirically postulated based on numerous structure–activity profiles of successful and nonsuccessful drugs for the efficient cellular uptake of these small drug molecules by diffusion through the cell membrane.[1] However, many potent drug candidates fail in preclinical studies because of limited solubility, stability, and toxicity. Thus, a number of drugdelivery systems have been developed to overcome these transport problems.[2–4] These include physical aggregates of amphiphilic molecules, such as polymeric micelles [3–5] as well as stable unimolecular micelles,[6] which have been considered as powerful nanocarriers in the dawning era of polymer therapeutics.[7]This highlight focuses on some recent developments of polymeric core–shell architectures (namely block-copolymer and unimolecular micelles) and the pathway of cellular uptake of such supramolecular drug-delivery systems. In contrast to micelles of small surfactant molecules, polymeric micelles (Scheme1) are generally more stable and can retain the loaded drug for a longer period of time.[3] The block-
