We aim to target and cure the very aggressive pediatric ARMS tumor with a highly specific nanomedicine approach, something that has never been achieved before.
In order to target MRD in disseminated ARMS tumor stages, we will use the recently developed multifunctional porous silicon nanoparticles (pSiNP) modified with targeting peptides to deliver chemotherapeutic agents, as well as siRNA against the PAX3-FOXO-1 fusion transcript.
In a very innovative approach, we will combine the delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs and siRNA in one NP
