The Apt-Dox-Lip complex showed selective internalization and enhanced cytotoxicity to MCF-7 breast cancer cells and xenograft MCF-7 breast tumors in nude mice, suggesting that AS1411 aptamer-functionalized liposomes can specifically bind nucleolin overexpressed on the MCF-7 cell surface, and implement drug delivery with high selectivity. ./cache/cord-344321-fjer281d.txt ./txt/cord-344321-fjer281d.txt
