Effective in vitro gene delivery to murine cancerous brain cells using carbon nanotube-polyethylenimine conjugates
Objective(s): Carbon nanotube (CNT) has been widely applied at molecular and cellular levels due to its exceptional properties. Studies based on conjugation of CNTs with biological molecules indicated that biological activity is preserved. Polyethylenimine (PEI) is explored in designing novel gene delivery vectors due to its ability to condense plasmid DNA through electrostatic attraction. In t...
متن کاملSkin electroporation for transdermal and topical delivery.
Electroporation is the transitory structural perturbation of lipid bilayer membranes due to the application of high voltage pulses. Its application to the skin has been shown to increase transdermal drug delivery by several orders of magnitude. Moreover, electroporation, used alone or in combination with other enhancement methods, expands the range of drugs (small to macromolecules, lipophilic ...
متن کاملTopical Nano and Microemulsions for Skin Delivery
Nanosystems such as microemulsions (ME) and nanoemulsions (NE) offer considerable opportunities for targeted drug delivery to and via the skin. ME and NE are stable colloidal systems composed of oil and water, stabilised by a mixture of surfactants and cosurfactants, that have received particular interest as topical skin delivery systems. There is considerable scope to manipulate the formulatio...
متن کاملTopical delivery of nucleic acids in the skin
The skin is an attractive site for the delivery of nucleic acid-based drugs for the treatment of topical and/or systemic diseases as well as for DNA immunization. However, due to the barrier properties of the skin, the penetration of nucleic acids in or across the skin is limited. This review focuses on the chemical, biological or physical methods developed to enhance nucleic acid delivery into...
متن کاملGene Delivery to Mesenchymal Stem Cells
There is increasing trend in using recombinant stem cells as novel therapeutic candidates in different diseases. These studies encompass different applications from targeted homing of Mesenchymal Stromal (stem) Cells (MSC), to arming them with different cytokines. Resistance to transfection or transduction methods had urged researchers to look for better gene delivery alternates and optimizing ...
