What are the Current Research Directions in shRNA and Cancer?
Current research is focusing on improving the specificity and efficiency of shRNA delivery systems. Nanoparticle-based delivery, for example, is being explored to enhance the targeted delivery of shRNA to cancer cells. Researchers are also investigating combinatory approaches where shRNA is used alongside other therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy to enhance treatment efficacy. Additionally, the development of inducible shRNA systems that allow for controlled gene silencing is another area of active research.
