Abstract

The article discusses the changes in microRNA expression which can be delivered in the absence of a protective vehicle. It examines the lack of efficient delivery vehicles in microRNA (miRNA)-based therapeutics that could lead to the degradation in circulation and poor transfection efficiency. It also cites the poor transfection efficiency cell surface receptors on tumor cells for the enhancement of miRNA mimic delivery.
