A single molecule detection method for understanding mechanisms of electric field-mediated interstitial transport of genes
Bioelectrochemistry, 69(2), 248–253.
author keywords: single molecule detection; DNA electromobility; interstitial transport; electric field-mediated gene delivery; non-viral gene delivery
MeSH headings : DNA / chemistry; DNA / radiation effects; Dose-Response Relationship, Radiation; Electromagnetic Fields; Electroporation / methods; Molecular Probe Techniques; Motion; Radiation Dosage; Stress, Mechanical; Transfection / methods
TL;DR:
A reproducible single molecule detection method is developed to observe the electromobility of DNA in a range of pulsed, high field strength electric fields typically used during electric field-mediated gene delivery and suggests the existence of a minimum pulse amplitude required to initiate electrophoretic transport.

Nonlinear Dependence of Hydraulic Conductivity on Tissue Deformation During Intratumoral Infusion
Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 34(7), 1173–1181.
author keywords: collagen concentration; hydraulic conductivity; intratumoral infusion; drug and gene delivery
MeSH headings : Animals; Antineoplastic Agents / administration & dosage; Biological Transport; Cell Line, Tumor; Collagen / metabolism; Elasticity; Gene Transfer Techniques; Genetic Therapy; Humans; Infusions, Parenteral / methods; Mice; Models, Biological; Neoplasm Transplantation; Neoplasms, Experimental / metabolism; Neoplasms, Experimental / therapy
TL;DR:
Results from numerical simulations based on the poroelastic model suggest that both the existence of Pt and the nonlinear relationships between Q and Pinf could be explained by infusion-induced tissue deformation that anisotropically affected the hydraulic conductivity of tissues.

Effects of pulse strength and pulse duration on in vitro DNA electromobility
Bioelectrochemistry, 62(1), 37–45.
author keywords: interstitial transport; plasmid electromobility; electric field-mediated gene delivery; non-viral gene delivery
MeSH headings : DNA / chemistry; Electrochemistry; Electrophoresis, Gel, Pulsed-Field / methods; Fluorescence; Gels / chemistry; Gene Transfer Techniques; In Vitro Techniques; Ions / chemistry; Plasmids / chemistry; Plasmids / genetics
TL;DR:
Electric field was better than concentration gradient of DNA as a driving force for interstitial transport of plasmid DNA and suggested that both pulse strength and duration needed to be adequately high for efficient plasmids transport through extracellular matrix.
