Nucleic Acid Therapeutics for “Undruggable” Cancer Targets: Mechanisms, Challenges, and Prospects
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 36, 29 June 2026.Nucleic acid therapeutics bypass the structural limitations of conventional drugs by targeting mRNA rather than proteins. This review examines how antisense oligonucleotides, siRNAs, miRNAs, aptamers, and mRNA vaccines intervene against historically undruggable oncoproteins including Ras, MYC, and p53, highlighting mechanistic advances, delivery ...

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT mRNA‐based therapeutics offer significant potential for cancer treatment owing to their ability to induce transient, non‐integrating expression of therapeutic proteins. However, effective and tumour‐specific delivery remains a major barrier.

Nucleolin-Targeting AS1411 Aptamer-Conjugated Nanospheres for Targeted Treatment of Glioblastoma
PharmaceuticsPost-operative chemotherapy is still required for the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM), for which nanocarrier-based drug delivery has been identified as one of the most effective methods. However, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and non-specific delivery to non-tumor tissues can significantly limit drug accumulation in tumor tissues and cause damage to ...

General cell-binding activity of intramolecular G-quadruplexes with parallel structure.
PLoS ONE, 2013 G-quadruplexes (G4s) are four-stranded nucleic acid structures adopted by some repetitive guanine-rich sequences. Putative G-quadruplex-forming sequences (PQSs) are highly prevalent in human genome.
