## Abstract ## Background Non‐viral gene delivery vectors are multi‐component systems reflecting various functionalities required for effective cell transfection, including DNA condensation, promotion of cell membrane interactions and provision for subcellular targeting through endosomal escape an
A recombinant, multifunctional protein has been designed for optimized, cell-targeted DNA delivery and gene expression in mammalian cells. This hybrid construct comprises a viral peptide ligand for integrin ␣ V  3 binding, a DNA-condensing poly-L-lysine domain, and a complete, functional -galactos
## Abstract ## Background Non‐viral methods of gene delivery have been an attractive alternative to virus‐based gene therapy. However, the vectors that are currently available have drawbacks limiting their therapeutic application. ## Methods We have developed a self‐assembled non‐viral gene carr
Background Ef®cient and target-speci®c in vivo gene delivery is a major challenge in gene therapy. Compared to cell culture application, in vivo gene delivery faces a variety of additional obstacles such as anatomical size constraints, interactions with biological ¯uids and extracellular matrix, and
