Development Of New Polymer Delivery Vehicles For Gene Therapy
MIT scientists are reporting synthesis and laboratory tests of a promising
new group of degradable polymer delivery vehicles for gene therapy. The
polymers are improved versions of materials first described in 2000 that
deliver genes efficiently to specific cells.
The lack of a safe, efficient delivery system for DNA has been a major
barrier to clinical use of gene therapy. Viruses and various polymer
materials have been used in effor
