Polymersomes Successfully Deliver siRNAs To Treat Breast Cancers in Preclincal Model - Technology Networks

Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham have demonstrated a 100-nanometer polymersome that successfully carries PARP1 siRNA to triple-negative breast cancer tumors in mice, conferring a fourfold increase in survival.

Small interfering RNAs, or siRNAs, hold promise to treat tumors, through their ability to specifically knock down oncogenes that promote tumor growth, without the toxicity that accompanies chemothera… [+4206 chars]
