Abstract

-PLGA, a cationic lipid, and an ionizable lipid. We optimized this system by carefully adjusting their mass ratios, resulting in highly efficient gene silencing. Furthermore, the optimized nanoparticle formulation, which encapsulates siRNA targeting CD47, induces a robust immune response. This response effectively suppresses the progression of melanoma tumors by blocking this critical immune checkpoint.
