Abstract: Degradable polymers were synthesized that self-assemble with DNA to form particles that are effective for gene delivery. Small changes to polymer synthesis conditions, particle formulation conditions, and polymer structure provides significant changes to efficacy in a cell-type dependent manner. Polymers presented here are more effective than commercially available materials, such as LIPOFECTAMINE 2000™, FUGENE®, or polyethylenimine (PEI), for gene delivery to cancerous fibroblasts or human primary fibroblasts. The presently disclosed materials may be useful for cancer therapeutics and regenerative medicine.

Abstract: The invention relates to synthetic platelet compositions and methods useful in diminishing bleeding and blood loss. The synthetic platelets of the invention can comprise a biocompatible, biodegradable polymer, including, for example, a poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)-poly-L-lysine (PLGA-PLL) block copolymer, having conjugated PEG arms terminating with RGD motif containing peptides. The invention further comprises compositions and methods useful in the delivery of therapeutic agents.
