Nanodisk gene therapy: Scientists introduce DNA directly into the cell nucleus using protein nanodisks

Spanish researchers at Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona have discovered a novel gene therapy method using particles measuring only a few nanometers which encapsulate genetic material and introduce themselves directly into the cell nucleus. The nanodisks, as researchers have named the particles, travel rapidly to the interior of the cell until reaching the nucleus, thus increasing the efficiency of the gene transfer process.
