Owing to their attractive antitumor effects, aminated fullerene derivatives are emerging as promising therapeutic drugs for cancer. However, their in vivo applications are severely limited due to cation toxicity. To address this problem, human heavy chain ferritin (HFn), possessing natural biocompatibility is utilized, to develop a novel supramolecular assembly drug delivery system.

Article Synopsis
  • Ferroptosis is a potential cancer treatment that induces cell death through oxidative damage, but tumors may resist this due to their high energy metabolism.
  • Researchers developed a nanoparticles platform combining iron and siRNA that responds to the tumor environment to release these components specifically within tumors.
  • The platform triggers ferroptosis by increasing lipid peroxidation and decreasing a cellular enzyme while simultaneously inhibiting the glycolytic pathway, enhancing the effectiveness of the treatment against tumor cells.
