Regulated release of a novel non-viral gene delivery vector from electrospun coaxial fiber mesh scaffolds
… an emerging technology for scaffold fabrication, coaxial electrospinning was adapted to include PEI-HA and plasmid DNA within the scaffold fibers. Initially, a factorial design was employed to assess the influence of processing parameters in the absence of gene delivery vectors and plasmids. The …
