## Abstract Viralβmediated gene delivery has been explored for the treatment and protection of cardiomyocytes, but so far there is only one report using cationic polymer for gene delivery to cardiomyocytes in spite of many advantages of polymerβmediated gene delivery. In this study, a cationic poly
## Abstract A novel amineβfunctionalized polycarbonate was synthesized and its excellent gene transfection ability in vitro is demonstrated. In the framework of adapting the cationic polycarbonate for in vivo gene delivery applications, here the design and synthesis of biodegradable block copolymer
Bifunctional cationic compound carrying trivalent galactosides as the cell targeting ligand and DAB-dendr-(NH 2 ) 8 (generation 2.0) as the DNA binding domain was synthesized for gene delivery to hepatocytes. DAB-dendr-(NH 2 ) 4 (generation 1.0) conjugated with a hydrocarbon chain was used as a scaf
