Modeling polarity-driven laminar patterns in bilayer tissues with mixed signaling mechanisms by Moore, JW, Dale, TC, Woolley, TE

“…We then explore the spectral links between the quotient and large-scale dynamical systems to extend the laminar patterning criteria from existence to convergence for sufficiently large amounts of cellular polarity in the large-scale dynamical system, independent of spatial dimension and number of cells in the tissue.…”

A versatile system for receptor-mediated gene delivery permits increased entry of DNA into target cells, enhanced delivery to the nucleus and elevated rates of transgene expression by Fisher, KD, Ulbrich, K, Subr, V, Ward, CM, Mautner, V, Blakey, D, Seymour, LW

“…Here we show that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transferrin and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) can each be linked to polyHPMA-coated poly(L-lysine)/DNA complexes. …”
