Engineering stimuli-responsive nanocarriers for CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing: next-generation cancer therapeutics

This review critically evaluates the structural design of nanocarriers, advanced spatiotemporal regulation strategies, and safety and efficacy concerns in CRISPR/Cas9-based cancer therapeutics. It discusses the role of cell-specific promoters, small-molecule stimulation, and stimuli-responsive delivery systems in improving genome-editing precision and therapeutic outcomes. The review also outlines future opportunities for exploiting CRISPR/Cas9 in advanced biomedical applications to enhance the effectiveness of next-generation cancer therapy.
