Abstract
Nonviral gene carriers are actively explored in gene therapy due to safety concerns of the viral carriers. To design effective gene carriers for modification of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC), an important cell phenotype for clinical application of gene therapy, cationic polymers polyethyleneimine (PEI), and poly-L-Lysine (PLL) were substituted with palmitic acid (PA) via amide linkages. Depending on the reaction conditions, PEI and PLL was substituted with 2.2-5.2 and 13.4-16.2 PA per polymer chain. The PA substituted polymers displayed slightly lower binding efficiency towards a plasmid containing Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (pEGFP) in an agarose gel binding assay. The cell binding of PLL-PA, but not PEI-PA, was particularly enhanced, resulting in higher percentage of the cells displaying a significant polymer uptake. pEGFP delivery into the BMSC was also significantly increased with the PLL-PA (vs. PLL), but not PEI-PA (vs. PEI). The transfection efficiency of PLL-PA was significantly higher ( approximately fivefold) than the unmodified polymer. We conclude that PA substitution on PLL provides an effective carrier for transfection of primary cells derived from the bone marrow.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
