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 کاملTargeted synthetic gene delivery vectors.
Synthetic gene delivery vehicles have made significant progress in the past decade in demonstrating strong potential for targeted delivery to specific cells, low toxicity and immunogenicity and large carrying capacity. However, significant advances must still be made to increase the efficiency of both polymer and lipid vehicles. Furthermore, techniques to generate more effective targeting moiet...
متن کاملVectors for Gene Delivery
Gene therapy bases its rationale on the transfer of genetic components (genes or fragments thereof) into somatic cells, with the aim of preventing, correcting, or healing various types of disorders. After this introductory sentence you expect us to start telling you some of the marvellous achievements in setting up the tools that allow this transfer. However, before entering into the intricate ...
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...
