Lipid Nanoparticles for Ocular Gene Delivery
Lipids contain hydrocarbons and are the building blocks of cells. Lipids can naturally form themselves into nano-films and nano-structures, micelles, reverse micelles, and liposomes. Micelles or reverse micelles are monolayer structures, whereas liposomes are bilayer structures. Liposomes have been recognized as carriers for drug delivery. Solid lipid nanoparticles and lipoplex (liposome-polyca...
متن کاملMagnetic nanoparticles for gene and drug delivery
Investigations of magnetic micro- and nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery began over 30 years ago. Since that time, major progress has been made in particle design and synthesis techniques, however, very few clinical trials have taken place. Here we review advances in magnetic nanoparticle design, in vitro and animal experiments with magnetic nanoparticle-based drug and gene delivery, and ...
متن کاملNovel pDNA nanoparticles for pulmonary gene delivery
The development of new therapies by gene transfer to the lung epithelial cells is an attractive prospect because of the potential ease of access to a vast surface area of tissue and the prospects for administration of gene vectors by inhalation. A number of respiratory diseases could benefit from this approach, including cystic fibrosis (CF), and more common chronic conditions such as asthma an...
متن کاملApplication of Magnetic Nanoparticles to Gene Delivery
Nanoparticle technology is being incorporated into many areas of molecular science and biomedicine. Because nanoparticles are small enough to enter almost all areas of the body, including the circulatory system and cells, they have been and continue to be exploited for basic biomedical research as well as clinical diagnostic and therapeutic applications. For example, nanoparticles hold great pr...
متن کاملSmart Polymeric Nanoparticles for Cancer Gene Delivery
The massive amount of human genetic information already available has accelerated the identification of target genes, making gene and nucleic acid therapy the next generation of medicine. Nanoparticle (NP)-based anticancer gene therapy treatment has received significant interest in this evolving field. Recent advances in vector technology have improved gene transfection efficiencies of nonviral...
