Rationally Designed Synthetic Vectors for Gene Delivery
Vector development is one of the most important challenges facing the successful use of genes for treatment of diseases. Although chemically produced vectors offer distinct advantages over biological systems such as viruses, there are still some hurdles that have to be overcome before synthetic gene delivery vectors can be successfully implemented. This brief review discusses the biological bar...
متن کاملRationally designed coiled-coil DNA looping peptides control DNA topology
Artificial DNA looping peptides were engineered to study the roles of protein and DNA flexibility in controlling the geometry and stability of protein-mediated DNA loops. These LZD (leucine zipper dual-binding) peptides were derived by fusing a second, C-terminal, DNA-binding region onto the GCN4 bZip peptide. Two variants with different coiled-coil lengths were designed to control the relative...
متن کاملAptamer-Targeted DNA Nanostructures for Therapeutic Delivery
DNA-based nanostructures have been widely used in various applications due to their structural diversity, programmability, and uniform structures. Their intrinsic biocompatibility and biodegradability further motivates the investigation of DNA-based nanostructures as delivery vehicles. Incorporating AS1411 aptamers into DNA pyramids leads to enhanced intracellular uptake and selectively inhibit...
متن کاملRationally designed complex, hierarchical microarchitectures.
The emergence of complex nano- and microstructures is of fundamental interest, and the ability to program their form has practical ramifications in fields such as optics, catalysis, and electronics. We developed carbonate-silica microstructures in a dynamic reaction-diffusion system that allow us to rationally devise schemes for precisely sculpting a great variety of elementary shapes by diffus...
متن کاملRationally designed tumor-penetrating nanocomplexes.
Small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapeutics have broad potential uses in medicine but require safe and effective delivery vehicles to function. An ideal delivery system should encapsulate and protect the siRNA cargo from serum proteins, exhibit target tissue and cell specificity, penetrate the cell surface, and release its cargo in the desired intracellular compartment. One approach to the desig...
