Zwitterionic Nanocages Overcome the Efficacy Loss of Biologic Drugs
Researchers from Shaoyi Jiang's (BioE adjunct) lab demonstrate a zwitterionic polycarboxybetaine nanocage that can physically encase proteins while keeping their structure intact. This approach addresses the problem posed by efficacy loss of biotherapeutics due to undesirable immune response.
Virus-Inspired Polymer for Efficient In?Vitro and In?Vivo Gene Delivery
Researchers demonstrate a synthetic polymer, VIPER, designed to mimic viral mechanisms of delivery, and that may have potential as a gene delivery platform for cancer therapy and other macromolecule therapeutics.
