Abstract
Among other strategies, the use of cationic lipids as autoassembling vehicles for non viral DNA transfection has received considerable attention. An exponentially growing litterature has been published on this topic (over 700 hits for the past decade, including 400 in the last two years). The present review focuses on the main present strategies aiming at improving cationic lipids induced transfection, and on some of the frequently encountered problems that should be solved to apply these non-viral vectors for human health. The review contains several sections dealing with the chemistry, physico-chemistry, cell biology, in vivo biology, and targeting of cationic-lipid DNA complexes.
Keywords: cationic lipids, physico-chemistry, cationic-lipid dna complexes

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
