Cationic Peptide-Modified Gold Nanostars as Efficient Delivery Platform for RNA Interference Antitumor Therapy
siRNA interference therapy can silence tumor cell target genes and specifically regulate tumor cell behavior and function, which is an effective antitumor therapy. However, in somatic circulation, naked siRNAs are not only susceptible to degrade, but it is also difficult to realize the tumor cells’...

siRNA interference therapy can silence tumor cell target genes and specifically regulate tumor cell behavior and function, which is an effective antitumor therapy.
