The silencing efficiency of siRNA delivered by non-viral cationic vectors is limited due to endosomal/lysosomal degradation. Here, the authors develop endoplasmic reticulum-coated vesicles as a biomimetic vector for siRNA delivery and show that they improve inhibition of tumor growth in mice in vivo.
