Abstract:Patients with brain cancers including medulloblastoma lack treatments that are effective long‐term and without side effects. In this study, a multifunctional fluoropolymer‐engineered iron oxide nanoparticle gene‐therapeutic platform is presented to overcome these challenges. The fluoropolymers are designed and synthesized to incorporate various properties including robust anchoring moieties for efficient surface coating, cationic components to facilitate short interference RNA (siRNA) binding, and a fluorinate… Show more
