Abstract:
The effective treatment of diseases by gene therapy may be a step nearer with the synthesis of two new peptide-based vectors for the delivery of genes to cells. A combination of two peptides-one containing an Arg-Gly-Asp integrin-binding motif, the other a fusogenic moiety-delivers genes almost as effectively as cationic liposomes.
