Another great application using cyclodextrin in non-viral drug delivery for gene therapy is presented in this paper underlining the versatility of these compounds in this field – similar in application to what we are working on in GENEGUT.
Colleagues present a novel targeting bio-conjugate for selective delivery of therapeutic nucleic acids, including RNA oligonucleotides and DNA- oligonucleotides, preferably gene-encoding DNA plasmids or minicircle DNAs, to eukaryotic cells by means of receptor-mediated endocytosis and endosomal release.
