Biodegradable calcium phosphate nanoparticle with lipid coating for systemic siRNA delivery.

TLDR
The new formulation of lipid coated calcium phosphate nanoparticle (NP) improved the in vitro silencing effect 3-4 folds compared to the previous LPD formulation, but had a negligible immunotoxicity.

On the mechanism whereby cationic lipids promote intracellular delivery of polynucleic acids.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the ability of cationic lipids to promote nonbilayer structures in combination with anionic phospholipids leads to disruption of the endosomal membrane following uptake of nucleic acid–cationic lipid complexes into cells, thus facilitating cytoplasmic release of the plasmid or oligonucleotide.

Q1. What have the authors contributed in "Biodegradable calcium phosphate nanoparticle with lipid coating for systemic sirna delivery" ?

Based on the previous formulation, liposome-polycation-DNA ( LPD ), which was DNA-protamine complex wrapped by cationic liposome followed by post-insertion of PEG, LCP was similar to LPD NP except that the core was replaced by a biodegradable nano-sized calciumphosphate precipitate prepared by using water-in-oil micro-emulsions in which siRNA was entrapped. The LCP NP was further modified by post-insertion of polyethylene glycol ( PEG ) with or without anisamide, a sigma-1 receptor ligand for systemic administration.
