Breast cancer bone metastasis poses significant challenge for therapeutic strategies. Inside the metastatic environment, osteoclasts and tumor cells interact synergistically to promote cancer progression. In this study, the proprotein convertase furin is targeted due to its critical roles in both tumor cell invasion and osteoclast function. Importantly, the furin inhibitor is specifically delivered by bone targeting superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles. Our <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in ...[more]
