DQAsome-mediated delivery of plasmid DNA toward mitochondria in living cells.
DQAsomes are mitochondriotropic cationic 'bola-lipid'-based vesicles, which have been developed by us for the transport of drugs and DNA to mitochondria in living cells. This has made direct… Expand

DQAsome/DNA complexes release DNA upon contact with isolated mouse liver mitochondria.
DQAsomes are mitochondriotropic cationic vesicles, which have been developed by us for the supposed transport of DNA to mitochondria in living cells [Pharm. Res. 15 (1998) 334]. Our strategy for the… Expand
