Smart Design of Mitochondria-Targeted and ROS-Responsive CPI-613 Delivery Nanoplatform for Bioenergetic Pancreatic Cancer Therapy

Mitochondria, as the powerhouse of most cells, are not only responsible for the generation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) but also play a decisive role in the regulation of apoptotic cell death, especially of cancer cells. Safe potential delivery systems which can achieve organelle-targeted therapy...
