Fusogenix Proteolipid Vehicles (PLVs) utilize fusion-associated transmembrane proteins to deliver DNA or RNA by direct fusion
John Lewis
Professor, University of Alberta
A new reality in genetic medicine lies ahead, one that will be ushered in with the advent of safe, effective, and redosable nucleic acid delivery technologies. At Entos, we develop next generation genetic medicines using our proprietary Fusogenix proteolipid vehicle (PLV) drug delivery system. Fusogenix PLVs are formulated with FAST proteins to enable the delivery of nucleic acid into target cells through direct fusion. For more information, visit www.entospharma.com.
