DNAzyme technology and cancer therapy: cleave and let die.

abstract：:Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) are key signaling molecules in regulating cancer cell growth and are important cancer drug targets. Despite the success of specific RTK-targeting therapy in certain cancer treatments, the overall response rates are limited to the drug target-stratified populations. We have systematicall...
