Cancer genes silenced in humans by using Nanoparticles

On 21 March 2010 Nature.com published an article about using Nanoparticles to treat skin cancer.

The treatment is based on tiny particles, carrying short strands of RNA which interfere with protein production in tumours. The technique, called RNA interference (RNAi), gained its inventors a Nobel Prize in 2006. Cancer genes in human melanomas have been switched off.
