Gene Therapy
Findings from Stony Brook, Chemistry Department broaden understanding of gene therapy
Published in Gene Therapy Weekly, December 2nd, 2010
2010 DEC 2 -- Research findings, 'A chemistry/physics pathway with nanofibrous scaffolds for gene delivery,' are discussed in a new report. "This perspective is to introduce a new pathway for non-viral gene delivery by taking advantage of nanofibrous scaffolds as gene storage devices, gene carriers and homing devices. During gene delivery to the target, the DNA has to be protected in order to pass through a set of barriers before reaching the nucleus," scientists in the United States report.
"The DNA can form a complex with polycations, and numerous publications exist on how to stabilize the DNA fragments by natural and synthetic materials. Electrospun...
