Branched Polymer-Mediated Gene Delivery

Recent Trends of Polymer Mediated Liposomal Gene Delivery System

Advancement in the gene delivery system have resulted in clinical successes in gene therapy for patients with several genetic diseases, such as immunodeficiency diseases, X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) blindness, thalassemia, and many more. Among various delivery systems, liposomal mediated gene delivery route is offering great promises for gene therapy. This review is an attempt to depi...

Ultrasound-Mediated Gene Delivery

Human gene therapy holds great promise in treating not only hereditary genetic disorders, but also disease states such as cancer and viral infections, and contingencies such as stroke or myocardial infarctions. It can be achieved by delivery of a correct gene into target cells with genetic deficiency or mutations, or by transfer of a therapeutic agent such as agents targeting a cancer-causing o...

Single cyclized molecule versus single branched molecule: a simple and efficient 3D "knot" polymer structure for nonviral gene delivery.

The large research effort focused on enhancing nonviral transfection vectors has clearly demonstrated that their macromolecular structure has a significant effect on their transfection efficacy. The 3D branched polymeric structures, such as dendrimers, have proved to be a very effective structure for polymeric transfection vectors; however, so far the dendritic polymers have not delivered on th...
