Journal Article
Eltaher, H. M., Blokpoel Ferreras, L. A., Jalal, A. R., & Dixon, J. (2022). Direct contact-mediated non-viral gene therapy using thermo-sensitive hydrogel-coated dressings. Biomaterials Advances, 143, Article 213177. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bioadv.2022.213177

Nanotechnologies are being increasingly applied as systems for peptide and nucleic acid macromolecule drug delivery. However systemic targeting of these, or efficient topical and localized delivery remains an issue. A controlled release system that c...

Non-viral gene delivery has become a popular approach in tissue engineering, as it permits the transient delivery of a therapeutic gene, in order to stimulate tissue repair. However, the efficacy of non-viral delivery vectors remains an issue. Our la...
