Abstract

Novel gene delivery agents based on combining cholesterol units with spermine-functionalised dendrons exhibit enhanced transfection ability-we report significant synergistic effects in mixed (hybrid) systems which combine aspects of both main classes of synthetic vectors, i.e., cationic polymers and lipids.
