In Vitro Cytotoxicity and Cytokine Production by Lipid-Substituted Low Molecular Weight PEIs Used for Gene Delivery comments

by Hasan Uludag Daniel Nisakar Meenakshi Sundaram
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 ...
