一家生物技术公司发明了一种利用核酸纳米颗粒技术治疗因基因原因致盲的方法。
好像是利用这种纳米颗粒来引导基因进入视觉器官组织细胞,然后……呵呵,看原

NANOPARTICLE TREATMENT FOR BLINDNESS SHOWS PROMISE
May 6, 2005
Copernicus Therapeutics, Inc., a privately held biotechnology company, a
nnounced a new proprietary non-viral nucleic acid nanoparticle technolog
y that introduces DNA into cells of the retina and other optic tissues t
o treat important causes of blindness, including retinitis pigmentosa, m
acular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and various viral infections.
In collaborative studies with Dr. Muna Naash at University of Oklahoma
Health Sciences Center, gene transfer efficiencies of up to 99 percent w
ere achieved according to findings reported at the 2005 Association for
Research in Vision and Ophthalmology meeting in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
"We are most enthusiastic about these findings," said Dr. Robert C. Moen
, president and CEO of Copernicus. "These data show that our nucleic aci
d nanoparticle platform can efficiently introduce genes into the eye. Th
ese remarkable findings are more than tenfold more efficient than any co
mpeting gene transfer technology. These findings further demonstrate the
platform nature of our nucleic acid nanoparticle technology, which enab
les us to develop therapeutics for different parts of the body and multi
ple diseases. Our lead program, which already has had a successful clini
cal trial, involves developing a therapy for a serious disease affecting
the lung, cystic fibrosis."
