Treating Tumors Independently of Oxygen

Rapidly growing tumors frequently outpace their vascular supply, creating "dead zones" of low oxygen

This novel therapeutic approach utilizes specialized lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to deliver follistatin messenger RNA (mRNA) directly to lung tumors, simultaneously inhibiting cancer growth and reversing cachexia, a severe muscle-wasting syndrome.
