Research Data

Nanoparticles (NPs) have been shown to be a suitable mRNA delivery platform by conferring protection against ribonucleases and facilitating cellular uptake. Several NPs have succeeded in delivering mRNA intranasally, intratracheally, and intramuscularly in preclinical settings. 

A new method BAPC-assisted-CRISPR-Delivery System, improved heritable gene editing when injecting adults or nymphs of insects [Hemiptera]. Addition of Branched Amphiphilic Peptide Capsules, BAPCtofect™ (Phoreus™ Biotechnology, Inc.,) improved delivery of CRISPR components for heritable gene…

CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing is a powerful technology to study the genetics of rising model organisms, such as the jewel wasp Nasonia vitripennis. However, current methods involving embryonic microinjection of CRISPR reagents are challenging. Delivery of Cas9…

To test the transdermal delivery capabilities of BAPC-MB, the tails of live mice were dipped in BAPC-MB solution for 1, 5, 15 and 30 minutes. After a 24-hour incubation period, the tissues were harvested for…

To evaluate the effect of BAP encapsulation of magnetic nanobeads on both cellular uptake and cell viability, research was conducted with Branched Amphipathic Peptide Capsule Magnetic Beads (BAPC-MB) and rat intestinal epithelial cells (IEC-18). The…

Introduction This report outlines two separate toxicity studies conducted on Apis melifera. The first study follows the parameters of the EPA Litmus test and the second study delves deeper into possible BAPC toxicity surpassing the…

Objectives Primary: To evaluate knockdown of target protein following antisense siRNA delivery to GFP-CHO cells with BAPC versus current commercial transfection reagents. Secondary: To assess cellular viability through cryopreservation following BAPC treatment. Experimental design Transfection…

We recently reported on a new class of branched amphiphilic peptides that associate with double stranded DNA and promote in vitro transfection of eukaryotic cells. In the present study, we tested a different formulation in…
