  2. 1. Chitosan Polyplexes as Non-Viral Gene Delivery Systems : Structure-Property Relationships and In Vivo Efficiency

    Author : Magnus Köping-Höggård; Per Artursson; Jean-Paul Behr; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutics; gene therapy; gene delivery; non-viral; polyplex; chitosan; chitosan oligomers; polyethylenimine; plasmid DNA; lung; Galenisk farmaci; Pharmaceutics; Galenisk farmaci;

    Abstract : The subject of this thesis was to develop and optimize delivery systems for plasmid DNA (pDNA) based on biocompatible polymers, in particular chitosan, suitable for non-viral gene therapy. At the onset of this thesis, studies had reported conflicting results on the efficiency of chitosan-based gene delivery systems. READ MORE

  4. 2. Chimeric gene delivery vectors : Design, synthesis, and mechanisms from transcriptomics analysis

    Author : Moataz Dowaidar; Ülo Langel; Sandrine Sagan; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell-penetrating peptides; magnetic nanoparticles; graphene oxide; autophagy; siRNA; SCO; QSAR; neurokemi med molekylär neurobiologi; Neurochemistry with Molecular Neurobiology;

    Abstract : Delivery of nucleic acid is a promising approach for genetic diseases/disorders. However, gene therapy using oligonucleotides (ONs) suffers from low transfection efficacy due to negative charges, weak cellular permeability, and enzymatic degradation. READ MORE

  5. 3. Treatment of Skin Wounds with Cell Transplantation and Gene Transfer

    Author : Tor Svensjö; Lunds universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pigs; gene regulation; cell culture; fibroblasts; keratinocytes; wound healing; skin; gene transfer; Transplantation; gene therapy; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

    Abstract : Background: A large number of different wound coverings have been used in order to improve the wound microenvironment, and thus accelerate repair. Since almost two centuries, clinicians and researchers have developed techniques for skin transplantation. READ MORE

  6. 4. Dendrimer-mediated gene delivery: Effect of polymer structure on cellular response

    Author : Kristina Fant; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; gene therapy; DNA condensation; cationic polymers; toxicity; non-viral vector; drug delivery; polyplex; PAMAM dendrimers;

    Abstract : The delivery of nucleic acids to cells, in vitro and in vivo, is becoming a realistic approach for intervention with gene expression at a molecular level. It can be used to repair malfunctioning genes or to introduce new functionalities, with the most important application being clinical treatment of human diseases. READ MORE

  7. 5. Nucleic acid in gene delivery and gene regulation

    Author : Pedro Moreno; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The concept of gene therapy, initially attributed to a technology that would allow the correction of inherited genetic disease, has evolved over the years. The realization of the immense technical hurdles to achieve genetic correction led to a broadening of the concept now including the transfer of genetic material whose expression will counteract, mitigate or revert a disease phenotype.
