Deciphering the role of substrate stiffness to enhance internalization efficiency of plasmid DNA in stem cells using lipid-based nanocarriers

This study investigates the role of substrate stiffness on non-viral transfection of human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) with the aim to maximize hASCs expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The results confirm the direct effect of substrate stiffness in regulating cytoskeleta...

Zusammenfassung:This study investigates the role of substrate stiffness on non-viral transfection of human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) with the aim to maximize hASCs expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The results confirm the direct effect of substrate stiffness in regulating cytoskeletal remodeling and corresponding plasmid internalization.
