Cellular uptake for gene delivery
01
Overview
Cellular uptake for gene delivery refers to the process by which nanoparticles, liposomes, or other carriers deliver genetic material into cells, primarily via endocytosis. This is a critical step in gene therapy but is not a discrete molecular target; rather, it involves multiple pathways and biomolecules depending on the delivery system and cell type. The process is essential for the effectiveness of nucleic acid therapeutics but poses challenges for efficiency, specificity, and safety.
