Magnetically-driven biodegradable gene delivery nanoparticles formulated with surface-attached polycationic complex

摘要

A particle including a matrix-forming agent and a polyelectrolyte-amphiphilic agent adduct wherein the polyelectrolyte-amphiphilic agent adduct is in physical communication with the matrix-forming agent. The particle further includes a coated magnetic field-responsive agent and a biomaterial. Methods of making the particle are provided. Also provided are methods of delivery of the biomaterial to a target cell or a target tissue including administering the particle having the matrix-forming agent, polyelectrolyte-amphiphilic agent adduct, the coated magnetic field-responsive agent and the biomaterial; providing a magnetic device associated with the target cell or the target tissue; applying a magnetic force to the particle; and guiding the particle toward the magnetic device by the magnetic force.
