Hydroxyapatite nanoparticle mediated delivery of full length dystrophin gene as a potential therapeutic for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy
2 Dec 2024
Abstract excerpt
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle degeneration, primarily affecting young males. In this study, we investigated arginine-modified hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (R-HAp) as a novel non-viral vector for DMD gene therapy, particularly for delivering the large 18.8 kb dystrophin gene. Addressing the limitations of traditional adeno-associated viral...
