Gene therapy holds great promise as a future approach to fighting disease and is explored in worldwide clinical trials. Cationic liposome (CL)−DNA complexes are prevalent nonviral delivery vector, but their efficiency requires improvement the understanding of mechanism action incomplete. As part our effort investigate structure-transfection relationships self-assembled CL−DNA vectors, we have synthesized new, highly charged (16+) multivalent cationic lipid, MVLBG2, with dendritic headgroup....

Abstract Background Gene carriers based on lipids or polymers—rather than engineered viruses—constitute the latest technique for delivering genes into cells gene therapy. Cationic liposome–DNA (CL‐DNA) complexes have emerged as leading nonviral vectors in worldwide therapy clinical trials. To arrive at therapeutic dosages, however, their efficiency requires substantial further improvement. Methods Newly synthesized multivalent (MVLs) enable control of headgroup charge and size. Complexes...

Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) is an age-associated phenomenon that increases the risk of hematologic malignancy and cardiovascular disease. CH thought to enhance disease through inflammation in peripheral blood.1 Here, we profile blood gene expression 66 968 single cells from a cohort 17 patients with 7 controls. Using novel mitochondrial DNA barcoding approach, were able identify separately compare mutant Tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 2 (TET2) methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) nonmutant...

Background: Vaginal infections are prevalent among women, often caused by disruptions in the vaginal microbiota, leading to symptoms like abnormal discharge, itching, and discomfort. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common condition characterized shift from Lactobacillus dominance anaerobic bacteria overgrowth, affecting reproductive-age women significantly. Understanding microbial ecology antibiotic susceptibility of pathogens crucial for effective management. The study aims identify bacterial...

ABSTRACT Glycogen storage disease type Ia (GSDIa) is a rare, life‐threatening, inherited carbohydrate metabolism disorder caused by glucose‐6‐phosphatase (G6Pase) deficiency, which essential for glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. GSDIa management includes strict medically prescribed diet that typically daily uncooked cornstarch doses, including overnight, to maintain euglycemia.

Motivated by its important role in gene delivery, we have studied the effect of cholesterol and analogs on transfection efficiency (TE) lamellar cationic liposome−DNA (CL−DNA) complexes vitro. Addition to low-transfecting DOTAP/DOPC−DNA increases TE, with 15 mol % already yielding 10-fold improvement. Steroids lacking alkyl tail only modestly enhance while molecules retaining it strongly TE. All steroid-containing CL−DNA exhibit structure. The increase experimentally determined membrane...
