Nanodiamonds Safely Deliver Gene Therapy with 70 times Greater Efficiency

A research team engineered surface-modified nanodiamond particles that successfully and efficiently delivered DNA into mammalian cells. The delivery efficiency was 70 times greater than that of a conventional standard for gene delivery. The new hybrid material could impact many facets of nanomedicine. The title of the ACS Nano paper is “Polymer-Functionalized Nanodiamond Platforms as Vehicles …
