Lipid nanoparticles encapsulating siRNAs against the androgen receptor to treat advanced prostate cancer

The androgen receptor (AR) plays a critical role in the progression of prostate cancer. This thesis is focused on investigating the ability of lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations of small-interfering RNA (siRNA) to silence AR (LNP AR-siRNA) in human prostate tumor cells in vitro and in LNCaP xeno...
