Efficient Delivery of dsRNA and DNA in Cultured Silkworm Cells for Gene Function Analysis Using PAMAM Dendrimers System

Polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers are emerging as intriguing nanovectors for nucleic acid delivery because of their unique well-defined architecture and high binding capacity, which have been broadly applied in DNA- and RNA-based therapeutics. The low-cost and high-efficiency of PAMAM dendrimers relative to traditional liposomal transfection reagents also promote their application in gene function analysis. In this study, we first investigated...
