Pre- and Post-Transcriptional Regulation of cFLIP for Effective Cancer Therapy Using pH-Ultrasensitive Nanoparticles
Cellular FLIP (cFLIP) is a crucial player of apoptosis-regulated pathways that is frequently overexpressed in solid cancers. To inhibit c-FLIP, pre- and post-transcriptionally, a multifunctional nanoparticle (NP) was created to deliver cFLIP-specific small interfering RNA (siRNA) into cancer cells....
