Targeted Delivery Methods for RNA Interference Are Necessary to Obtain a Potential Functional Cure for HIV/AIDS.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors provide a detailed analysis of explored systems for siRNA delivery for HIV/AIDS in the context of RNA therapeutic design and nanoparticle design and suggest strategies that should be used to target specific tissues that are rich in lymphatic tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Aging on Polymerization Kinetics

TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical model was developed to describe the physical aging during photopolymerizations and cross-linking reactions of diacrylates and dimethacryls.

Temperature-sensitive polymer-gold nanocomposites as intelligent therapeutic systems

TL;DR: The development of nanoscale polymer systems 0.3 μm in diameter and smaller will be required for the development of effective in vivo intelligent therapeutic systems, due to the size limitations imposed by the body’s natural defense mechanisms.
