Abstract

Targeted therapy for breast cancer stem cell (BCSC): A novel liposomal system (APTEDB -LS-siRNA(EDB) ) that enables simultaneous targeting and knockdown of extra domain B of fibronectin (EDB-FN) shows potent therapeutic efficacy in the BCSC-derived tumors in vivo.

Keywords: RNA; aptides; breast cancer; fibronectin; liposomes; stem cells; targeted cancer therapy.
