title: A supramolecular approach to the preparation of charge-tunable dendritic polycations for efficient gene delivery.
abstract: A facile supramolecular approach for the preparation of charge-tunable dendritic polycations, by a combination of the multi-functionality of dendritic polymers with the dynamic-tunable ability of supramolecular polymers, has been developed. It provides a new strategy for designing and developing efficient gene vectors via noncovalent interactions.
