Small interfering RNA (siRNA) is used to regulate gene expression for therapeutic purposes, but the design of stable and efficient siRNA delivery systems is challenging. Here, the authors develop a siRNA-encapsulated and aptamer-incorporated core/shell nanoparticle for controlled siRNA delivery, with high stability, tumor-specific targeting and long circulation time.
