Gene therapy isnemerging as a promising cancer treatment modality; however, the systemicnadministration of gene therapy has been limited by inefficient deliverynto the lungs and systemic toxicity.

The self-assembled si<i>KRAS</i>@GCLPP NPs are capable of maintaining structural integrity duringnnebulization, with preferential distribution within the tumor-bearingnlung. Inhalable si<i>KRAS</i>@GCLPP NPs show not only significantntumor-targeting capability but also enhanced antitumor activity innan orthotopic mouse model of human <i>KRAS</i>-mutant NSCLC.nThe nebulized delivery of si<i>KRAS</i>@GCLPP NPs demonstratesnpotent knockdown of mutated <i>KRAS</i> in tumor-bearingnlungs without causing any observable adverse effects, exhibiting anbetter biosafety profile than the systemic delivery approach.
