Protein expression after delivery of plasmid DNA to the cell nucleus depends on the processes of transcription and translation. Cytotoxic gene-delivery systems may compromise these processes and… Expand
Engineered bacterial outer membrane vesicles with enhanced functionality.
We have engineered bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) with dramatically enhanced functionality by fusing several heterologous proteins to the vesicle-associated toxin ClyA of Escherichia coli.… Expand

A number of human diseases stem from defective genes. One approach to treating such diseases is to replace, or override, the defective genes with normal genes, an approach called 'gene therapy'.… Expand
PLGA microspheres containing plasmid DNA: preservation of supercoiled DNA via cryopreparation and carbohydrate stabilization.
Biodegradable microspheres containing plasmid DNA have potential uses as mediators of transfection in cells, particularly phagocytic cells such as macrophages. However, the hydrophilic nature and the… Expand
