Nitto Denko Develops World’s First Biodegradable Gene Carrier; New Polymer Material Safely Delivers Genes Into Cells

The Nitto Denko Group (TSE: 6988; NYSE: NDEKY) has developed the world’s first biodegradable gene carrier, a polymer material that can be used in cellular experiments and other bio-related areas. The carrier, which can transfer foreign genes into animal cells, exhibits extremely low cell toxicity due to its biodegradability and enables transfer efficiency to an equal or higher degree than traditional methods.
