Article Synopsis
- One major challenge with using small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) for cancer therapy is getting them into cells effectively.
- Researchers created special liposomes (tiny bubbles) to improve the delivery and efficacy of siRNAs targeting the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which promotes cancer growth.
- The study showed that these cationic liposomes increased siRNA uptake in cancer cells, resulting in significant inhibition of VEGF expression across various types of cancers, including lung, liver, and breast cancer.
