Nanotr�gersystem zur Anwendung in der Wirkstoff- und Gentherapie

Forschende der Universit�t Basel haben ein intelligentes Nanotr�gersystem auf Basis von Peptiden entwickelt. Aufgrund ihres besonderen Aufbaus organisieren sich diese Peptide in Wasser selbst zu etwa 200 Nanometer grossen sph�rischen K�gelchen. Dieses neue Nanotr�gersystem kann f�r den Transport und Schutz unterschiedlicher Gastmolek�le eingesetzt werden - denkbar ist insbesondere ein Einsatz in der Gentherapie.
