MATERIALS AND METHODS FOR INTRODUCING GENETIC MATERIAL INTO LIVING CELLS

摘要

The present invention generally relates to introducing genetic material to living cells. In some embodiments, the present invention relates to compositions of matter for targeted delivery of nucleic acids to cells. In other embodiments, the present invention relates to methods of targeted delivery of nucleic acids to cells. In still other embodiments, the present invention relates to polymers that contain at least one amino acid in their backbone. In yet other embodiments, the present invention relates to polymers that contain at least one amino acid in their backbone thereby resulting in biodegradability, and in some embodiments, controlled biodegradability.
