Gold-installed biostable nanocomplexes for tumor-targeted siRNA delivery in vivo

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Dec 4;51(93):16656-9. doi: 10.1039/c5cc05639j. Epub 2015 Oct 1.

Abstract

The key issues, associated with nanocarriers for small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), are their poor stability and lack of tumor targetability in vivo. To address these issues, we developed gold-installed polyethyleneimine/siRNA complexes with a corona of PEGylated hyaluronic acid.
