Hyperbranched Phosphorylcholine Polymers Synthesized via RAFT Polymerization for Gene Delivery and Synthesis of an Elastomeric Conductive Polymer for Cardiovascular Applications
DownloadFall 2012
Gene therapy has the potential to treat a variety of hereditary diseases such as diabetes, peanut anaphylaxis, cystic fibrosis and different types of cancer. Gene therapy relies on the design of a delivery system which can carry a gene of interest into a cell. The delivery systems can be broken...
