A successful gene therapy approach can prevent or treat congenital and acquired diseases. However, there is still no ideal non-viral vector for gene delivery in a safe and timely manner.

Due to its intrinsic characteristics it constitutes an excellent candidate to deliver therapeutic genes, pending the modification of its surface charge.
