Gene therapy based on small interfering RNA (siRNA) has emerged as an exciting new therapeutic approach. In this work, incorporation of PEI into poly(D, L-lactide-co-glycolide)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLGA-b-PEG) particles has been shown to be quite effective in the development of corresponding gene delivery systems, and encapsulation of magnetic nanoparticles as an MRI contrast agent, resulted in unique theranostic nanoparticles.
