This work illustrates the utility of Minivector DNA, a non-viral, supercoiled gene therapy vector incorporating short hairpin RNA from an H1 promoter. Minivector DNA is superior to both plasmid DNA ...
Academic research trends continue to drive transfection technology advancements. Researchers hope to use more biologically relevant yet hard-to-transfect cell models in addition to the standard ...
When a cell is able to take up free DNA or RNA, it is termed “competent”. Some cell types or microbial species, such as Bacillus subtilis, 11 are naturally competent and they can be induced to uptake ...
