Scientists Develop Biodegradable Nanocarrier for Targeted Breast Cancer Therapy
Researchers at Pune's Agharkar Research Institute have developed a biodegradable nanocarrier platform for targeted gene therapy in breast cancer. Using mesoporous silica nanoparticles, the system delivers small interfering RNA (siRNA) to silence two genes linked to tumour survival and therapy resistance. Experiments showed effective tumour growth inhibition and increased cancer cell death in breast cancer models, with minimal systemic toxicity observed in mice. This approach aims to improve tumour specificity and reduce off-target effects compared to conventional treatments.
