Application


  • Thermodynamic Characterization of Polypeptide Complex Coacervation.: The research investigates the thermodynamic properties of polypeptide complex coacervation, including the role of Poly-L-ornithine hydrobromide in these interactions. This study provides insights into the self-assembly processes of polypeptides, which are crucial for designing new biomaterials (Priftis et al., 2012).

Several recent studies have shown that activation of the RhoA/Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) pathway is involved in the MPTP-induced dopaminergic cell degeneration and possibly in Parkinson's disease. ROCK inhibitors have been suggested as candidate neuroprotective drugs for Parkinson's disease. However, the

Gene transfer vectors formed between the cationic polyamino acid, poly-(L)-omithine (PLO) and plasmid DNA (pDNA) have demonstrated superior transfection efficiency (up to x 10-fold) compared to equivalent polylysine-based systems in-vitro. The mechanism(s) underlying this observation remains to be elucidated. We
