Mitochondria-Targeted Nanocarriers Promote Highly Efficient Cancer Therapy: A Review

Mitochondria are the primary organelles which can produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP). They play vital roles in maintaining normal functions. They also regulated apoptotic pathways of cancer cells. Given that, designing therapeutic agents that precisely target mitochondria is of great importance fo...
