Article Synopsis
  • Researchers achieved effective gene knockdown in normal human bronchial epithelium (NHBE) cells, which are covered in mucus, using a specific technique.
  • The method involved guanylurea functionalization, which alters the chemical properties of the gene carrier.
  • This study highlights a promising approach for targeting genes in complex environments like the lungs, which could have implications for respiratory therapies.

In-depth understanding of the biophysicochemical interactions at the nano-bio interface is important for basic cell biology and applications in nanomedicine and nanobiosensors. Here, the extracellular surface potential and topography changes of live cell membranes interacting with polymeric nanomaterials using a scanning ion conductance microscopy-based potential imaging technique are investigated. Two structurally similar amphiphilic conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNs) containing different functional groups (i.

Bacterial infections are serious health threats. Emerging drug resistance in bacteria further poses serious challenges to the treatment options involving traditional antibiotics. Antimicrobial polymers disrupt the physical cell membrane integrity of bacteria to address the drug resistance problems.
