Tumor microenvironment-targeted nanoparticles loaded with bortezomib and ROCK inhibitor improve efficacy in multiple myeloma

The tumour microenvironment (TME) has a major role in chemoresistance in multiple myeloma. The authors show that a nanoparticle targeted to TME and loaded with bortezomib (BTZ) and Y27632 is more effective than free drugs, non-targeted and single-agent controls and reduces BTZ-related side effects.
