Journal Article
Raftery, R. M., Walsh, D. P., Blokpoel Ferreras, L., Mencía Castaño, I., Chen, G., LeMoine, M., …O'Brien, F. J. (2019). Highly versatile cell-penetrating peptide loaded scaffold for efficient and localised gene delivery to multiple cell types: From development to application in tissue engineering. Biomaterials, 216, Article 119277. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biomaterials.2019.119277

Gene therapy has recently come of age with seven viral vector-based therapies gaining regulatory approval in recent years. In tissue engineering, non-viral vectors are preferred over viral vectors, however, lower transfection efficiencies and difficu...

Purpose: High-grade glioma (HGG) treatment is limited by the inability of otherwise potentially efficacious drugs to penetrate the blood brain barrier. We evaluate the unique intra-cavity delivery mode and translational potential of a blend of poly(D...
