Dendrimers for siRNA Delivery
Since the discovery of the "starburst polymer", later renamed as dendrimer, this class of polymers has gained considerable attention for numerous biomedical applications, due mainly to the unique characteristics of this macromolecule, including its monodispersity, uniformity, and the presence of numerous functionalizable terminal groups. In recent years, dendrimers have been studied extensively...
متن کاملSustained local delivery of siRNA from an injectable scaffold.
Controlled gene silencing technologies have significant, unrealized potential for use in tissue regeneration applications. The design described herein provides a means to package and protect siRNA within pH-responsive, endosomolytic micellar nanoparticles (si-NPs) that can be incorporated into nontoxic, biodegradable, and injectable polyurethane (PUR) tissue scaffolds. The si-NPs were homogeneo...
متن کاملTargeted Delivery of siRNA
Therapeutic application of siRNA requires delivery to the correct intracellular location, to interact with the RNAi machinery within the target cell, within the target tissue responsible for the pathology. Each of these levels of targeting poses a significant barrier. To overcome these barriers several strategies have been developed, such as chemical modifications of siRNA, viral nucleic acid d...
متن کاملEnzyme-triggered PEGylated siRNA-nanoparticles for controlled release of siRNA
A key goal of our recent research efforts has been to develop novel 'triggerable nanoparticle' systems with real potential utility in vivo. These are designed to be stable from the point of administration until a target site of interest is reached, then triggered for the controlled release of therapeutic agent payload(s) at the target site by changes in local endogenous conditions or through th...
متن کاملsiRNA delivery and targeting.
RNA interference (RNAi) is one of the most dramatic findings over the past decade, and the number of publications related to RNAi increased exponentially from 5 in 1998 to more than 2400 in 2008. Generally, RNAi can be achieved by three strategies: chemical synthesized small interfering RNA (siRNA), long double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), and DNA-based (plasmid or viral vector) short hairpin RNA (shR...
