siRNA-mediated silencing of CD44 delivered by Jet Pei enhanced Doxorubicin chemo sensitivity and altered miRNA expression in human breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB468)
CD44, as a superficial cellular glycoprotein, is an essential factor in cell–cell and cell–matrix interaction. The CD44 expression level has been substantially up-regulated in breast cancer, and this upregulat...
