Activated polyamidoamine dendrimers, a non-viral vector for gene transfer to the corneal endothelium.

abstract：:Regulated gene delivery systems are usually made of two elements: an inducible promoter and a transactivator. In order to optimize gene delivery and regulation, a single viral vector ensuring adequate stoichiometry of the two elements is required. However, efficient regulation is hampered by interferences between the ...
