Delivery of STAT3 inhibitor cucurbitacins to tumor by polymeric nano-carriers : Implications in cancer chemo- and immunotherapy
DownloadFall 2009
Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3), a common oncogenic mediator, is constitutively activated in many types of human cancers and plays a critical role in tumor growth and cancer immune evasion. The focus of this dissertation is the delivery of STAT3 inhibitor cucurbitacins...

Meenakshi Sundaram, Daniel Nisakar
RNA interference (RNAi) is a promising technology to specifically target the upregulated genes that provide uncontrolled proliferation and survival of cancers. The target specific silencing is accomplished by the delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA), which require safe delivery systems to...
