Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion CSII is a treatment strategy for Type I diabetes mellitus T1D that relies on insulin infusion sets IIS to deliver insulin to the subcutaneous tissue via a polytetrafluoroethylene PTFE or stainless-steel cannula...

Lipid-modified low molecular weight polyethyleneimines LMW PEIs are promising non-viral gene delivery systems that have been successfully explored for the treatment of various diseases through the delivery of plasmid DNA pDNA or mRNA to expression therapeutic proteins thereby restoring the defective protein, for the knockdown of aberrant proteins using RNA interference RNAi with short interfering RNA siRNA or for the complete knockout of the gene using CRISPR technology 1, 2 ...
