Why is this work in the frame?
A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.
Full frame distilled prediction
Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Abstract
PURPOSE: The human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays an oncogenic role in solid cancer, including brain cancer. The present study was designed to prolong survival in mice with intracranial human brain cancer with the weekly i.v. injection of nonviral gene therapy causing RNA interference (RNAi) of EGFR gene expression. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Human U87 gliomas were implanted in the brain of adult scid mice, and weekly i.v. gene therapy was started at day 5 after implantation of 500000 cells. An expression plasmid encoding a short hairpin RNA directed at nucleotides 2529-2557 within the human EGFR mRNA was encapsulated in pegylated immunoliposomes. The pegylated immunoliposome was targeted to brain cancer with 2 receptor-specific monoclonal antibodies (MAb), the murine 83-14 MAb to the human insulin receptor and the rat 8D3 MAb to the mouse transferrin receptor. RESULTS: In cultured glioma cells, the delivery of the RNAi expression plasmid resulted in a 95% suppression of EGFR function, based on measurement of thymidine incorporation or intracellular calcium signaling. Weekly i.v. RNAi gene therapy caused reduced tumor expression of immunoreactive EGFR and an 88% increase in survival time of mice with advanced intracranial brain cancer. CONCLUSIONS: Weekly i.v. nonviral RNAi gene therapy directed against the human EGFR is a new therapeutic approach to silencing oncogenic genes in solid cancers. This is enabled with a nonviral gene transfer technology that delivers liposome-encapsulated plasmid DNA across cellular barriers with receptor-specific targeting ligands.
