| Research Abstract |
The apatite-cements and -nanocapsule including DNA complex particles were degraded by osteoclast, and the DNA complex was continuously released. When they were injected peri-tumorally into tumor-bearing mice, significant tumor-growth suppression effect was observed, and in some cases, complete disappearance of tumor was achieved. They would be expected as a novel sustained-gene expression device.
