Preparation of a Microporous Polyurethane Film with Negative Surface Charge for siRNA Delivery via Stent by Il-Hoon Cho, Sangsoo Park

“…Fluorescence microscopy showed the PU surface with intense fluorescence by the aggregates of the FITC-labeled-siRNA-PEI complex (measuring up to few microns in size); additionally, the negatively charged PU surface revealed broad and diffuse fluorescence. These results suggest that the construction of negatively charged microporous polyurethane films is feasible and could be applied for enhancing the efficiency of siRNA delivery via a stent-covering polyurethane film.…”
