Schematic representation of the use of nanocages for siRNA delivery

Caption

Schematic representation of the use of nanocages for siRNA delivery. When binding siRNA (arrow A), the nanocages with a typical diameter of 5-6 nanometre cluster into cage-RNA nanoparticles with a diameter of some 150 nanometres. This is small enough to enter a cell (arrow B) and deliver the siRNA.
