Enzymatic absorption promoters for non-invasive peptide delivery

Peptide drugs offer considerable potential for treating a diverse range of diseases. Yet, their clinical application is generally restricted to injectable therapies. The main challenge hindering their broader use through globally accessible, patient-friend ...

Stimulus-responsive assembly of nonviral nucleocapsids

Angela Steinauer

Controlled assembly of a protein shell around a viral genome is a key step in the life cycle of many viruses. Here we report a strategy for regulating the co-assembly of nonviral proteins and nucleic acids into highly ordered nucleocapsids in vitro. By fus ...

Protein Engineering and Directed Evolution for Nanocarrier Innovation

Angela Steinauer

The design of nonviral protein-based delivery systems has gained significant attention as an alternative to viral vectors and lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for gene therapy. While viral vectors offer efficient gene delivery, they present challenges such as im ...

Quantification of protein delivery in live cells using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy

Angela Steinauer

Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is a quantitative single-molecule method that measures the concentration and rate of diffusion of fluorophore-tagged molecules, both large and small, in vitro and within live cells, and even within discrete cellu ...
