This project aims to develop a method for delivering reprogramming transcription factor genes to astrocytes in the central nervous system using Intelligent Phagemid-Assembled Gene Expression (iPhAGE) technology. By constructing specific gene blocks and fusion helper plasmids, synthesizing iPhAGE DNA, and purifying iPhAGE preparations, the project seeks to enhance transfection efficiency and assess immune responses and protection. The participating institutions will benefit from the advancement of biotechnological techniques and potential therapeutic applications for neurological disorders.
