Tiny particles called nanoparticles are used to transport special molecules called small interfering RNA (siRNA) to help slow down the progression of a type of blood cancer called multiple myeloma. These nanoparticles act like delivery vehicles to bring the siRNA to the right place in the body and help fight against the cancer cells. A […]
