Nioplexes encapsulated in supramolecular hybrid biohydrogels as versatile delivery platforms for nucleic acids

Supramolecular hydrogels based on N-protected phenylalanine (Fmoc–Phe–OH) were used to encapsulate non-ionic surfactant vesicles (niosomes). The niosomes consisted of an amphiphilic lipid mixed with polysorbate-80 and electrostatically complexed with a fluorescently labelled oligodeoxynucleotide (FI...
