Summary: The lack of effective treatments for pulmonary diseases is a global health burden. Direct local gene therapy is an alternative method for treating pulmonary diseases. Compared to conventional viral/nonviral systems, peptide-vector-mediated in vivo lung gene therapies have various benefits. However, clinical trials in this area are still in the early stages. The major obstacle to delivering gene cargoes to the lungs is the presence of various extracellular mucosal layers and intracellular membranes. This review highlights recent developments in peptide-based gene delivery systems and their applications, including the designing rules for barrier-permeable pulmonary gene delivery, the use of oligopeptides for local gene therapy in lung tissue, and alternative hybridizing systems of peptides with other materials.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
