We are developing a self-assembling non-viral in vivo gene delivery vehicle based on poly-l-lysine and plasmid DNA. We have characterized poly-l-lysines of different chain lengths for DNA… (More)
This review focuses on recent progress and novel strategies to improve the efficiency of in vivo non-viral gene delivery. Examples of the most promising attempts to overcome specific barriers are… (More)
In vitro assays have demonstrated the capability of poly-L-lysine to protect plasmid DNA from serum nucleases and cellular lysates. Our purpose was to evaluate the stability and potency of… (More)
Cell line analysis is an important element of cancer research. Despite the progress in glioblastoma cell culturing, the cells isolated from the majority of specimens cannot be propagated infinitely… (More)

Glioblastoma is a highly aggressive tumour of the central nervous system, characterised by poor prognosis irrespective of the applied treatment. The aim of our study was to analyse whether the… (More)
Glioblastoma is the most common and malignant brain tumor, characterized by high cellular heterogeneity. About 50% of glioblastomas are positive for EGFR amplification, half of which express… (More)
The Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) and its mutations contribute in various ways to tumorigenesis and biology of human cancers. They are associated with tumor proliferation, progression, drug… (More)
Watanabe et al. described TP53 mutation and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) amplification as being mutually exclusive (1). In 2003, however, Okada et al. (2) showed that peripheral or local… (More)
Heterozygosity of TP53 missense mutations is related to the phenomenon of the dominant-negative effect (DNE). To estimate the importance of the DNE of TP53 mutations, we analysed the percentage of… (More)
