Ulcerative Colitis Tissue

Caption

Colon tissue samples of (top) healthy tissue; (middle) ulcerative colitis treated with siRNA delivered by thioketal nanoparticles; (bottom) untreated ulcerative colitis. The tissue treated with siRNA-loaded thioketal nanoparticles exhibits intact epitheliums, well-defined fingerlike "crypt" structures and lower levels of inflammation like those seen in healthy tissue.
