Core-shell Structured Chitosan-polyethylenimine Nanoparticles for Gene Delivery: Improved Stability, Cellular Uptake, and Transfection Efficiency

Sandrine Gerber, Perrine Agnes Edith Robin, Laura Camille Louise Nicolle

Gene therapy emerged as a promising treatment option for acquired and inherited diseases. The delivery of nucleic acids relies on vectors that condense and encapsulate their cargo. Especially non-viral gene delivery systems are of increasing interest. Howe ...

Intracellular recording of cardiomyocyte action potentials with nanopatterned volcano-shaped microelectrodes

Benoît Xavier Emmanuel Desbiolles

Micro-nanotechnology based multielectrode arrays have led to remarkable progress in the field of transmembrane voltage recordings of excitable cells. However, electrode geometries alone have failed to produce a cell-electrode interface that is sufficiently ...

A simple plasmid-based transient gene expression method using High Five cells

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser, Virginie Bachmann, Xiao Shen

The High Five (H5) cell line, derived from the lepidopteran Trichoplusia ni, is one of the major insect cell hosts for the production of recombinant proteins using the baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS). Here, we describe a simple polyethylenimine ...

Improved biocompatibility of polyethylenimine (PEI) as a gene carrier by conjugating urocanic acid: In vitro and in vivo

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Irina Krier

Polyethylenimine (PEI) is a promising gene carrier among polymeric vectors because of its high transfection efficiency, buffering capacity, which is responsible for its escape from endosomes, facility of modification, reasonable price and wide range of mol ...

ProNodal acts via FGFR3 to govern duration of Shh expression in the prechordal mesoderm

Daniel Constam

The secreted glycoprotein sonic hedgehog (Shh) is expressed in the prechordal mesoderm, where it plays a crucial role in induction and patterning of the ventral forebrain. Currently little is known about how Shh is regulated in prechordal tissue. Here we s ...

Probing the size of proteins with glass nanopores

Aleksandra Radenovic, Melanie Blokesch, Roman Bulushev, Lorenz Jan Steinbock, Lely Feletti

Single molecule studies using nanopores have gained attention due to the ability to sense single molecules in aqueous solution without the need to label them. In this study, short DNA molecules and proteins were detected with glass nanopores, whose sensiti ...

Lipid-coated nanocapillaries for DNA sensing

Lorenz Jan Steinbock, Vivek Vijay Thacker

We report a simple and efficient way to accomplish the chemical modification of glass nanopores by means of lipid self-assembly. Lipid coating improves the success rate of these glass nanopores as biosensors to detect lambda-DNA. ...

Large-Scale Transfection of Mammalian Cells

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser

The large-scale transfection of mammalian cells allows moderate (milligram to gram) amounts of recombinant proteins (r-proteins) to be obtained for fundamental or clinical research. In this article, we describe a one-liter transfection using polyethyleneim ...

Gene transfer and protein dynamics in stem cells using single cell electroporation in a microfluidic device

There is great interest in genetic modification of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), not only for research purposes but also for use in (autologous) patient-derived-patientused transplantations. A major drawback of bulk methods for genetic ...

Rational vector design and multi-pathway modulation of HEK 293E cells yield recombinant antibody titers exceeding 1 g/l by transient transfection under serum-free conditions

Florian Maria Wurm, Gaurav Backliwal, Sébastien Chenuet, Sarah Wulhfard

Transient transfection allows for fast production of recombinant proteins. However, the current bottlenecks in transient transfection are low titers and low specific productivity compared to stable cell lines. Here, we report an improved transient transfec ...

Cell culture imaging using microimpedance tomography

Philippe Renaud, Olof Pontus Linderholm

We present a novel, inexpensive, and fast microimpedance tomography system for two-dimensional imaging of cell and tissue cultures. The system is based on four-electrode measurements using 16 planar microelectrodes (5 mum x 4 mm) integrated into a culture ...

Transient gene expression in suspension HEK-293 cells: application to large-scale protein production

Florian Maria Wurm, Lucia Baldi Unser, Philippe Pierre Girard, Natalie Muller

Recent advances in genomics, proteomics, and structural biology raised the general need for significant amounts of pure recombinant protein (r-protein). Because of the difficulty in obtaining in some cases proper protein folding in bacteria, several method ...
