Combining hyaluronic acid with chitosan enhances gene delivery [PDF]

, 2014
The low gene transfer efficiency of chitosan-DNA polyplexes is a consequence of their high stability and consequent slow DNA release. The incorporation of an anionic polymer is believed to loosen chitosan interactions with DNA and thus promote higher ...

Chitosan Nanoparticles for miRNA Delivery

, 2017
RNA interference techniques represent a promising strategy for therapeutic applications. In addition to small interfering RNA-based approaches, which have been widely studied and translated into clinical investigations, microRNA-based approaches are attractive owing to their "one hit, multiple targets" concept.
