Thermodynamic Characterization of Polypeptide Complex Coacervation.: The research investigates the thermodynamic properties of polypeptide complex coacervation, including the role of Poly-L-ornithine hydrobromide in these interactions. This study provides insights into the self-assembly processes of polypeptides, which are crucial for designing new biomaterials (Priftis et al., 2012).

The impetus to develop non-viral gene delivery vectors has led to examination of synthetic polycationic polymers as plasmid DNA (pDNA) condensing agents. Previous reports have highlighted superiority (up to x 10-fold) in the in-vitro transfection of pDNA complexes formed by

Alginate microcapsules coated with a permselective poly-L-ornithine (PLO) membrane have been investigated for the encapsulation and transplantation of islets as a treatment for type 1 diabetes. The therapeutic potential of this approach could be improved through local stimulation of microvascular

Gene transfer vectors formed between the cationic polyamino acid, poly-(L)-omithine (PLO) and plasmid DNA (pDNA) have demonstrated superior transfection efficiency (up to x 10-fold) compared to equivalent polylysine-based systems in-vitro. The mechanism(s) underlying this observation remains to be elucidated. We
Several recent studies have shown that activation of the RhoA/Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) pathway is involved in the MPTP-induced dopaminergic cell degeneration and possibly in Parkinson's disease. ROCK inhibitors have been suggested as candidate neuroprotective drugs for Parkinson's disease. However, the

Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) is attracting increasing attention as an effective technique for the processing of biomaterials, specifically bioactive coatings and biomedical nanostructures. The well-known advantages of EPD for the production of a wide range of microstructures and nanostructures as well
