There is a clinical need to develop lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to deliver congenital therapies to the fetus during pregnancy. The aim of these therapies is to restore normal fetal development and prevent irreversible conditions after birth. As a firs...
Ionizable lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are seeing widespread use in mRNA delivery, notably in SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines. However, the expansion of mRNA therapies beyond COVID-19 is impeded by the absence of LNPs tailored for diverse cell types. In this ...
Cationic polymers offer an alternative to viral vectors in nucleic acid delivery. However, the development of polymer vehicles capable of high transfection efficiency and minimal toxicity has remained elusive, and continued exploration of the vast de...
Gene therapy has emerged as a significant advancement in medicine in recent years. However, the development of effective gene delivery vectors, particularly polymer vectors, remains a significant challenge. Limited understanding of the internal struc...
This paper evaluates the aggregation behavior of a potential drug and gene delivery system that combines branched polyethyleneimine (PEI), a positively-charged polyelectrolyte, and elastin-like polypeptide (ELP), a recombinant polymer that exhibits l...
