Abstract

Lipid nanoparticles encapsulating two different small interfering ribonucleic acids are developed that block essential pathways for cancer cell survival. Targeting of metastasized ovarian cancer cells is further enhanced by coating nanoparticles with hyaluronan. Robust gene silencing in key tissues involved in ovarian cancer pathophysiology in an advanced ovarian cancer mouse model and improved median and overall survival are demonstrated by Dan Peer and co-workers in article number 2100287.
