TL;DR: The conductive PEDOT/CNT porous scaffolds present high biocompatibility after 3 and 6 days of C8-D1A astrocyte incubation and show Young's modulus typical of soft materials, as well as high electrical conductivity, which may play an important role in electroactive cell growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low molecular weight PEI-appended polyesters as non-viral gene delivery vectors.
TL;DR: In vitro transfection toward 7402, HEK293 and U-2OS cells show that polymer P1 may give dramatically higher transfections efficiency (TE) than 25 kDa PEI, suggesting that such polymer might be promising non-viral gene vectors.
