Next generation delivery system for proteins and genes of therapeutic purpose: why and how?

Biomed Res Int. 2014:2014:327950. doi: 10.1155/2014/327950. Epub 2014 Jul 15.

Abstract

Proteins and genes of therapeutic interests in conjunction with different delivery systems are growing towards new heights. "Next generation delivery systems" may provide more efficient platform for delivery of proteins and genes. In the present review, snapshots about the benefits of proteins or gene therapy, general procedures for therapeutic protein or gene delivery system, and different next generation delivery system such as liposome, PEGylation, HESylation, and nanoparticle based delivery have been depicted with their detailed explanation.
