Enhanced target gene knockdown by a bifunctional shRNA: a novel approach of RNA interference.

abstract：:Macrophages plasticity is a key feature in cancer progression. Neoplastic cells can alter their immune functions and orient them into a pro-tumoral phenotype. In this context, we developed a new therapeutic strategy to switch macrophages phenotype and reactivate their anti-tumoral functions. We showed a dual activity ...
