How Far Are Non-Viral Vectors to Come of Age and Reach Clinical Translation in Gene Therapy?
(MDPI, 2021-07-14)
Efficient delivery of genetic material into cells is a critical process to translate gene therapy into clinical practice. In this sense, the increased knowledge acquired during past years in the molecular biology and ...
Sphingolipid extracts enhance gene delivery of cationic lipid vesicles into retina and brain
(Elsevier, 2021-12)
[EN]The aim was to evaluate relevant biophysic processes related to the physicochemical features and gene transfection mechanism when sphingolipids are incorporated into a cationic niosome formulation for non-viral gene ...
Design of double functionalized carbon nanotube for amphotericin B and genetic material delivery.
(Nature, 2022)
In the present work, single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) were successively functionalized with phospholipid DSPE-PEG carboxylic acid, and then, with ethylenediamine (EDA), to obtain double functionalized single wall carbon ...
Stability of Monoclonal Antibodies as Solid Formulation for Auto-Injectors: A Pilot Study
(MDPI, 2023-07-30)
Drug adherence is a significant medical issue, often responsible for sub-optimal outcomes during the treatment of chronic diseases such as rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis. Monoclonal antibodies (which are exclusively ...
Assessment of Different Niosome Formulations for Optogenetic Applications: Morphological and Electrophysiological Effects
(MDPI, 2023-07-01)
Gene therapy and optogenetics are becoming promising tools for treating several nervous system pathologies. Currently, most of these approaches use viral vectors to transport the genetic material inside the cells, but ...
Characterization and assessment of new fibrillar collagen inks and bioinks for 3D printing and bioprinting
(AccScience Publishing, 2023-03-16)
Collagen is a cornerstone protein for tissue engineering and 3D bioprinting due to its outstanding biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and natural abundance in human tissues. Nonetheless, it still poses some important ...
Cell Microencapsulation Technologies for Sustained Drug Delivery: Latest Advances in Efficacy and Biosafety
(Elsevier, 2021-07-10)
The development of cell microencapsulation systems began several decades ago. However, today few systems have been tested in clinical trials. For this reason, in the last years, researchers have directed efforts towards ...
Progress in 3D Bioprinting Technology for Osteochondral Regeneration
(MDPI, 2022-07-29)
Osteochondral injuries can lead to osteoarthritis (OA). OA is characterized by the progressive degradation of the cartilage tissue together with bone tissue turnover. Consequently, joint pain, inflammation, and stiffness ...
Nanodiamond Integration into Niosomes as an Emerging and Efficient Gene Therapy Nanoplatform for Central Nervous System Diseases
(American Chemical Society, 2022-03-15)
[EN] Nanodiamonds (NDs) are promising materials for gene delivery because of their unique physicochemical and biological features, along with their possibility of combination with other nonviral systems. Our aim was to ...
An SPM-Enriched Marine Oil Supplement Shifted Microglia Polarization toward M2, Ameliorating Retinal Degeneration in rd10 Mice
(MDPI, 2022-12-30)
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the most common inherited retinal dystrophy causing progressive vision loss. It is accompanied by chronic and sustained inflammation, including M1 microglia activation. This study evaluated the ...
