Despite their promisin g\ntherapeutic capabilities\, siRNA-based strategies suffer from enzymatic \ndegradation and poor cellular uptake. Several carrier-based approaches\n have been employed to enhance the stability and efficiency of siRNA\ndeliv ery._ DTSTAMP:20250529T114227Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
