Nuclear accumulation of plasmid DNA can be enhanced by non-selective gating of the nuclear pore

One of the major obstacles in non-viral gene transfer is the nuclear membrane. Attempts to improve the transport of DNA to the nucleus through the use of nuclear localization signals or importin-β have achieved limited success. It has been proposed that the nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) through whic...
