Hydrogen bonds in polycation improve the gene delivery efficiency in the serum-containing environment

Cationic polymers with high charge density could effectively condense the DNA and achieve gene transfection; however, it often brings non-negligible cytotoxicity. Notably, the high charge density gene vector fails in the serum environment, limiting further application in vivo. In this paper, an effi...
