There is great need for stand-alone luminescence-based chemosensors that exemplify
selectivity, sensitivity, and applicability and that overcome the challenges that arise from …

Polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) formed using polypeptides have great potential for
developing new self-assembled materials, in particular for the development of drug and …

Although numerous strategies are now available to generate rudimentary forms of synthetic
cell-like entities, minimal progress has been made in the sustained excitation of artificial …

The present work addresses the development and characterization of ε-Poly-l-Lysine/pDNA
polyplexes and evaluation for their improved transfection efficacy and safety as compared to …

Polyplexes composed of polyethyleneimine (PEI) and DNA or siRNA have attracted great
attention for their use in gene therapy. Although many physicochemical characteristics of …

In this work we focus on the use of novel homo and block copolymers based on poly (vinyl
benzyl trimethylammonium chloride) as gene delivery vectors. The homopolymers and block …

Cationic gemini surfactants have strong potential as compaction agents of nucleic acids for
efficient non-viral gene delivery. In this work, we present the aggregation behavior of three …

Remarkable resistance of bacterial biofilms to high doses of antimicrobials and antibiotics is
one of their main challenges. Encapsulation of proteolytic enzymes is one of the suggested …

Gene delivery is an important tool to study and manipulate human pluripotent stem cells for
regenerative medicine purposes. Yet current methods of transient gene delivery to stem …

The conceptual application of complex coacervate core micelles (C3Ms) as drug delivery
vehicles has obtained significant interest over the past several decades. Although C3Ms …
