Nanoparticle-mediated enzyme delivery for application in cancer therapy
Enzyme therapy is a promising form of cancer treatment. The specific nature of enzyme and substrate interaction gives enzyme therapy an edge compared to standard non-specific therapies such as radiation and chemotherapy. However, since most of these enzymes are of a foreign nature, the delivery of these immunogenic enzymes has…
