Abstract

Herein, we report a unique siRNA-induced peptide co-assembly nanocarrier, which could efficiently co-assemble upon the addition of siRNA, forming nanospheres with high biocompatibility and transfection efficiency both in vitro and in vivo. In a tumor xenograft nude mouse model, these siRNA-peptide nanospheres inhibited tumor volume growth by >60%.
