DNA Plasmid (IV Injection for PD)

Summary

• MSN nanoformulations have the potential to deliver plasmid DNA across the blood-brain barrier, enabling gene expression in brain tissue following intravenous administration.
• MSNs with specific modifications allow for controlled biodistribution and targeted transgene expression in the brain and peripheral organs.
• A DNA plasmid encoding the AADC gene, delivered via MSN nanoformulation, is currently under development for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.
