Pharmacological inhibition of the prolyl isomerase PIN1, highly expressed in cancer cells and cancer associated fibroblasts (CAF), has been proposed for cancer therapy. Here the authors report the design of a DNA-barcoded micellular system functionalized with antibodies targeting CAFs and a T cell recruiting aptamer to deliver the PIN1 inhibitor AG17724, showing antitumor response in preclinical models of pancreatic cancer.
