Geometrically frustrated magnets can host complex spin textures, leading to unconventional
electromagnetic responses. Magnetic frustration may also promote topologically nontrivial …

A block catiomer polyplex, showing a high stability in the extracellular medium and an
efficient release of plasmid DNA (pDNA) in the intracellular compartment, was developed by …

PEG-based polyplex micelles, which can detach the surrounding PEG chains responsive to
the intracellular reducing environment, were developed as nonviral gene vectors. A novel …

Multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are one of the most powerful tools in regeneration
medicine. Their low differentiation efficiency, however, limits further application of MSCs …

Polyplexes assembled from poly(aspartamide) derivatives bearing 1,2-diaminoethane side
chains, [PAsp(DET)] display amplified in vitro and in vivo transfection activity with minimal …

A core−shell-type polyion complex (PIC) micelle with a disulfide cross-linked core was
prepared through the assembly of iminothiolane-modified poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(l-lysine…

A new entity of polymer vesicle with a polyion complex (PIC) membrane, a PICsome, was
prepared by simple mixing of a pair of oppositely charged block copolymers, composed of …

Background The investigation into the intracellular mechanisms for gene expression has
acquired great impetus for the improvement of the transfection efficiency by a non‐viral gene …

Hollow capsules or vesicles in the mesoscopic size range are of great interest because of
their fundamental importance as new colloidal structures, as well as their potential utility in …

Magnetic skyrmion textures are realized mainly in non-centrosymmetric, eg chiral or polar,
magnets. Extending the field to centrosymmetric bulk materials is a rewarding challenge, …
