Oligonucleotide Nanostructure Targets Cancer Cells for RNA Therapy

The delivery of therapies specifically to cancer cells has always been hindered by limitations of the delivery molecules—all too often off-target effects can be detrimental to a patient’s overall health. Moreover, while chemotherapies have been highly useful as targeted treatments for cancer, unwanted side effects still plague therapeutic outcomes. However now, researchers at the University of Missouri (MU) have demonstrated that specialized nucleic acid-based nanostructures could be
