More effective treatments are still needed to improve its prognosis. Her2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer represents 15-25% of invasive breast cancer. In this dissertation project, a novel nanoparticle construct has been engineered for efficient delivery of siRNAs to tumors. 000002895 540__ $$fCC BY 000002895 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000002895 650__ $$aMolecular Targeted Therapy$$039450 000002895 650__ $$aSilicates$$030131 000002895 650__ $$aBreast Neoplasms$$015809 000002895 650__ $$aDrug Delivery Systems$$029171 000002895 650__ $$aNanoparticles$$037592 000002895 650__ $$aRNA, Small Interfering$$034596 000002895 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000002895 692__ $$aDepartment of Biomedical Engineering$$041397 000002895 7001_ $$aNgamcherdtrakul, Worapol$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002895 7201_ $$aYantasee, Wassana$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000002895 8564_ $$9749ca682-2de3-4e0b-b28c-848abf42e66d$$s5538955$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2895/files/3665_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$21be14ad774bc9d10c665b805ff1c18f2$$31 000002895 905__ $$a/rest/prod/1z/40/kt/06/1z40kt06x 000002895 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:2895$$pstudent-work 000002895 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
