Nanoparticle breast cancer therapy. Artificial microRNAs (miRNAs) being used to deliver gene therapy in a case of breast cancer. These fragments of RNA (ribonucleic acid) are critical to gene expression. Artificial miRNAs created by researchers are capable of binding to and silencing genes associated with cancer. Here, self-assembled nanoparticles (red) are carrying miRNAs to an aggressive breast tumour in a mouse model and sticking to the tumour target with the help of an adhesive glue.
