Article Synopsis
- Biomaterials often struggle with surface properties that hinder their effectiveness in delivering nucleic acids, especially affecting cell adhesion and immune responses.
- Low pressure cold plasma technology is explored as an eco-friendly method to enhance the surfaces of materials; in this case, it was used to modify silver nanoparticles with chitosan to improve DNA delivery.
- The modified nanoparticles showed better biocompatibility and increased cell uptake, pointing to the potential of plasma treatment in advancing gene delivery mechanisms.
