Complexation of DNA with Thermoresponsive Charged Microgels: Role of Swelling State and Electrostatics

Micro- and nanogels are being increasingly used to encapsulate bioactive compounds. Their soft structure allows large loading capacity while their stimuli responsiveness makes them extremely versatile. In this work, the complexation of DNA with thermoresponsive microgels is presented. To this end, P...
