摘要
Encapsulating DNA: A new cubic phase that contains both DNA and a cationic surfactant was discovered. The authors propose a cubic arrangement of surfactant micelles with DNA rods intercalated between several cells (see picture). The results presented here may be important for the development of efficient delivery vectors for genetic material.
