Abstract
This review focuses on the recent developments in study of cationic lipids as carriers for DNA delivery. Emphasis is placed on a class of compounds as exemplifies by their similarity in structures and transfection activities. The technical aspects are also reviewed on how to prepare DNA-lipid complexes and to perform transfection. A brief discussion of the current views on the mechanism of cationic lipid-mediated DNA transfer is intended to provide new prospects for future developments and further improvement of the current systems.

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
