The aim of research was to develop and optimize delivery systems for plasmid DNA (pDNA) based on biodegradable polymers, in particular, poly(ester amine)s (PEAs), suitable for non-viral gene therapy. Poly(ester amine)s were successfully synthesized by Michael addition reaction between polycaprolacto
Guanidinylated poly(allyl amine) as a gene carrier

## Abstract ## Background Polyethylenimine (PEI) vectors are widely used in gene delivery because of their high transfection efficiency owing to a unique proton sponge effect. An increase in molecular weight increases transfection efficiency, but simultaneously results in increased toxicity. There
## Abstract Polyethylenimine (PEI) is a wellβknown cationic polymer which has high transfection efficiency due to its buffering effect. However, nondegradability, cytotoxicity, aggregation, and shortβcirculation time __in vivo__ still need to be overcome for a successful gene delivery. Degradable,
## Abstract Genes are attractive candidates as therapeutic agents, and the development of safe and effective gene carriers is essential for the success of human gene therapy. To develop a gene delivery vector that shows low cytotoxicity and high efficiency, we synthesized polyβLβlysineβ__g__βpluron
