Size-controlled synthesis of polymerized DNA nanoparticles for targeted anticancer drug delivery†
Abstract
We synthesized size-tunable polymerized DNA nanoparticles (PDNs) for cancer-targeted drug delivery via sequential processes of rolling circle amplification, condensation, and layer-by-layer assembly. The PDNs selectively delivered anti-sense oligonucleotides to target cancer cells and exhibited size-dependent gene regulation efficacy.
