Abstract
Floxosomes are self-assembled prodrug nanovesicles that exploit nucleobase molecular recognition to co-deliver floxuridine and short interfering RNA for synergistic cancer therapy. This esterase-responsive nanoplatform shows potent cytotoxicity (IC50 = 3 µM) and in tandem STAT3 mRNA knockdown in human osteosarcoma cells, supporting its potential as a dual-modality nanomedicine.
