A DR4 capturer with AKT siRNA for the synergetic enhancement of death receptor-mediated apoptosis

Chem Commun (Camb). 2018 Nov 27;54(95):13439-13442. doi: 10.1039/c8cc06796a.

Abstract

A graphene-based nanocarrier modified with death receptor 4 (DR4) antibody and AKT siRNA has been developed, which can synergistically strengthen death receptor-mediated apoptosis and enhance the cancer therapeutic effect in vivo.
