Oral delivery of nucleic acids for the purpose of cell transfection is an exciting new delivery method that could improve outcomes for DNA vaccination and gene therapy. It serves as a non-invasive application and makes the dosing process exponentially easier.…
Branched Amphipathic Peptide Capsules (BAPC) are nanospheres made from an equimolar mixture of two branched peptides: bis(Ac-FLIVIGSII)-K-K4-CO-NH2 and bis(Ac-FLIVI)-K-K4-CO-NH2. These peptides self-assemble to form solvent-filled, bilayer defined capsules and originate from one of the pore-forming segments of the human heart…
Transfection is the process of introducing foreign nucleic acids and CRISPR-Cas9 into cells to produce genetically modified cells. Transfection research has been the foundation of many important scientific and medical breakthroughs in recent years. From creating insect-resistant and more nutritious…
Biopesticides are pesticides derived from naturally occurring materials. The three primary types include microbial, plant-incorporated-protectants and biochemical. While these classifications can include a wide range of different technologies, the biochemical industry has been generating the most excitement with many recent…
CRISPR-Cas9 is a fast and accurate tool for adding, removing or modifying genetic material at specific locations in the genome. The technology allows researchers to more easily alter DNA sequences and modify gene function than traditional gene editing techniques. It…
