Improving the delivery and immunogenicity of an inhalable CpG-ODN DNA vaccine by bio-adhesive gemini nanoparticles in neonatal chickens
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-05)Cytosine-phosphodiester-guanine oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG-ODN) are nucleotide sequence motifs found in the bacterial genome that activate the mammalian innate immune response and have been found to boost humoral immunity ... -
Nanoscale physics of surfactant gene delivery
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-18)Medicine has met a revolution in the expansion of possibilities for therapy based upon synthetic gene delivery. Imagine the ability to correct problems of a genetic origin with a simple drug -- such science fiction fantasies ... -
Synthesis and Self-Assembly of Metal Carbonyl Building Blocks for Aqueous Colloids with Aggregation-Induced Functions
(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-06)Metal carbonyl complexes (MCCs) are potentially useful for a range of biomedical applications, including cell imaging and bioassay. However, the poor solubility and stability of MCCs in water remain obstacles to their use ...
