The nuclear envelope is a physiological barrier to electrogene transfer. To understand different mechanisms of the nuclear entry for electrotransfected plasmid DNA (pDNA), the current study investigated how manipulation of the mechanisms could affect electrotransfection efficiency (eTE), transgene expression level

After administration to the body, nucleic acid containing nanoparticles (NANs) need to cross several extra- and intracellular barriers to reach the cytoplasm or nucleus of the target cells. In the last decade several groups tried to overcome these barriers by

Asymmetric spirocyclization based on intramolecular conjugate addition using a combination of a Lewis acid and an optically active cyclohexane-1,2-diol has been studied in connection with 1) the effect of substituents on the cyclohexane-1,2-diol and 2) the effect of substituents on

The efficiency of gene therapy in non-dividing cells is particularly poor due to restricted nuclear delivery rates of exogenously applied macromolecules across the nuclear pore complexes (NPCs). Therefore, improved intranuclear delivery of transgenes requires an ability to modulate the barrier
The paper reports the tin(II) chloride catalyzed reactions of diazodiphenylmethane with the cis- and trans-1,2-cyclohexanediols and R,S-1,2-propanediol in 1,2-dimethoxyethane and the identification of the monodiphenylmethyl ethers formed. The catalyst is shown to work for both the cis- and trans-cyclohexanediols, but
