Tunable nanocomplexes for delivery of plasmid DNA into human and vertebrate primary cells

Historically, poly(D,L-lactide-co-plycolide) (PLGA) complexes with polyethylenimine (PEI) coated surfaces have been used as a DNA delivery mechanism in gene therapy. This allows for a complex that has relatively low cytotoxicity, binds DNA, and has a cationic surface to allow for easy entry into the target cell. However, these complexes still maintain...

Battery Storage with High Energy and Rapid Charge Rates

The energy density of a storage device refers to the amount of energy that can be stored within a device of a specific size. Power density refers to the manner in which energy can be stored. The greater the power density, the faster the storage device can be charged and discharged. Typically, batteries have high energy density and low power density...
