ABSTRACT
Sustained gene delivery is of particular importance today because it circumvents the need for repeated therapeutic administration and provides spatial and temporal control of the release profile. Better understanding of the genetic basis of diseases and advances in gene therapy have propelled significant research on biocompatible gene carriers for therapeutic purposes. Varied biodegradable polymer-based architectures have been used to create new compositions with unique properties suitable for sustained gene delivery. This review presents the most recent advances in various polymeric systems hydrogels, microspheres, nanospheres and scaffolds, having complex architectures to encapsulate and deliver functional genes. Through the recombination of different existing polymer systems, the multicomplex systems can be further endowed with new properties for better-targeted biomedical applications.
