Development of switchable polymers to address the dilemma of stability and cargo release in polycationic nucleic acid carriers
The researchers report a pH-sensitive polymer, p(PMA-PMBA)-b-p(OEGMA-DMAEMA) (SP), and its successful use in vitro and in vivo gene transfer. The polymer addresses the dilemma of stability and cargo release in gene delivery, and may have broad potential therapeutic agent delivery applications.
