Gene therapy introduces new genes into a patient's cells to replace missing or malfunctioning genes.
Nonviral, bioinspired gene delivery method is safer than standard viral methods.
It could significantly reduce the time and expense involved in bringing new treatments to market.
Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs), incredibly versatile and super porous nanomaterials.
Can be used to store, separate, release or protect almost any biomolecule.
A MOF subtype with biocompatible and biodegradable properties carries the DNA into a cell.
May become useful in transgenomics, implants and even crop improvements.
