DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA).

Scientists unlock a new approach to kill hard-to-treat cancers

In a paper appearing in Nature today, an international group of scientists have unlocked a new way to kill hard to treat cancers. These tumors resist current immunotherapies, including those using Nobel Prize winning check-point blocking antibodies.

Biodegradable, non-ionic polymeric nanovesicles efficiently encapsulate and deliver siRNA

Small interfering RNAs, or siRNAs, hold promise to treat tumors, through their ability to specifically knock down oncogenes that promote tumor growth, without the toxicity that accompanies chemotherapy. However, the siRNAs need a delivery vehicle to protect them from degradation and clearance on their journey through the bloodstream to the cancer tumor.
