Abstract

The therapeutic use of nucleic acids has long been heralded as a panacea of medicinal opportunity, a vision enhanced by the introduction of RNA interference technology. The Achilles heel of such an approach is the in vivo delivery of the desired nucleic acid into cells, a practice that lacks selectivity, safety and/or efficiency. Herein we report the safe and efficacious in vitro and in vivo delivery of nucleic acids using tripodal biodegradable ...
