Advanced Strategies for Overcoming Endosomal/Lysosomal Barrier in Nanodrug Delivery
Nanocarriers have therapeutic potential to facilitate drug delivery, including biological agents, small-molecule drugs, and nucleic acids. However, their efficiency is limited by several factors; among which, endosomal/lysosomal degradation after ...

Insights into the kinetics of siRNA-mediated gene silencing from live-cell and live-animal bioluminescent imaging [PDF]
Small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules are potent effectors of post-transcriptional gene silencing. Using noninvasive bioluminescent imaging and a mathematical model of siRNA delivery and function, the effects of target-specific and treatment-specific ...

A molecular view on the escape of lipoplexed DNA from the endosome
The use of non-viral vectors for in vivo gene therapy could drastically increase safety, whilst reducing the cost of preparing the vectors. A promising approach to non-viral vectors makes use of DNA/cationic liposome complexes (lipoplexes) to deliver the genetic material.

Breaking down the barriers: siRNA delivery and endosome escape [PDF]
RNA interference (RNAi)-based technologies offer an attractive strategy for the sequence-specific silencing of disease-causing genes. The application of small interfering (si)RNAs as potential therapeutic agents requires safe and effective methods for their delivery to the cytoplasm of the target cells and tissues. Recent studies have shown significant

pH-triggered endosomal escape of pore-forming Listeriolysin O toxin-coated gold nanoparticles
Background A major bottleneck in drug delivery is the breakdown and degradation of the delivery system through the endosomal/lysosomal network of the host cell, hampering the correct delivery of the drug of interest.
