HDL Nanodiscs Loaded with Liver X Receptor Agonist Decreases Tumor Burden and Mediates Long-term Survival in Mouse Glioma Model

Troy A. Halseth, Anzar Mujeeb, Lisha Liu, Kaushik Banerjee, Nigel Lang, Todd Charles Hollon, Minzhi Yu, Mark Vander Roest, Ling Mei, Hongliang He, Maya Sheth, Maria Graciela Castro, Anna A. Schwendeman

This study shows that HDL nanodiscs with LXR agonists and CpG oligonucleotides improve survival and reduce tumor burden in a mouse glioma model when combined with radiation.
