RNA interference (RNAi) is a major tool for basic and applied investigations. However, obtaining RNAi data that have physiological significance requires investigation of regulations and therapeutic strategies in appropriate in vivo settings.

Fast targeted gene transfection and optogenetic modification of single neurons using femtosecond laser irradiation [PDF]
This work is supported by the UK Engineering Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).A prevailing problem in neuroscience is the fast and targeted delivery of DNA into selected neurons.

High efficiency transfection of thymic epithelial cell lines and primary thymic epithelial cells by Nucleofection [PDF]
Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) are required for the development and differentiation of T cells and are sufficient for the positive and negative selection of developing T cells.

Evidence for the role of proteoglycans in cation-mediated gene transfer [PDF]
We report evidence that gene complexes, consisting of polycations and plasmid DNA enter cells via binding to membrane-associated proteoglycans. Treatment of HeLa cells with sodium chlorate, a potent inhibitor of proteoglycan sulfation, reduced luciferase

Magnetofection potentiates gene delivery to cultured endothelial cells [PDF]
Modification of cellular functions by overexpression of genes is increasingly practised for research of signalling pathways, but restricted by limitations of low efficiency. We investigated whether the novel technique of magnetofection (MF) could enhance

Silencing E3 Ubiqutin ligase ITCH as a potential therapy to enhance chemotherapy efficacy in p53 mutant neuroblastoma cells [PDF]
P53 mutations are responsible for drug-resistance of tumour cells which impacts on the efficacy of treatment. Alternative tumour suppressor pathways need to be explored to treat p53- deficient tumours.

Transfection in Micromonospora spp [PDF]
The introduction of bacteriophage DNA into Micromonospora protoplasts, resulting in the production of infective viral progeny, is reported. Transfection was affected by several factors. We observed that it reached a maximum when protoplasts from young mycelium (15 h old) were used.

Combining hyaluronic acid with chitosan enhances gene delivery [PDF]
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 ...

Aim: Gene-based immunotherapy against cancer is limited by low gene transfer efficiency. In the literature, interleukin-12 (IL-12) encoding plasmid associated with sonoporation has been shown to enhance antitumoral activity. Moreover, non-viral carriers
