... In a murine knockout model, feeding of chitosan-FVIII DNA nanoparticles in gelatin mediated a prolonged restoration of hemostasis. Functional FVIII protein was detected in plasma, reaching a peak level of 2–4% normal FVIII at day 22. A bleeding challenge after one month resulted in survival of 13 of ...
