      MMP-9 Downregulation with Lipid Nanoparticles for Inhibiting Corneal Neovascularization by Gene Silencing 

      Torrecilla Alzola, Josune; Gómez Aguado, Itziar ORCID; Vicente Pascual, Mónica; Del Pozo Rodríguez, Ana ORCID; Solinís Aspiazu, María Ángeles ORCID; Rodríguez Gascón, Alicia (MDPI, 2019-04-18)
      Gene silencing targeting proangiogenic factors have been shown to be a useful strategy in the treatment of corneal neovascularization (CNV). Among interference RNA (RNAi) molecules, short-hairpin RNA (shRNA) is a plasmid-coded ...
