Selective elimination of metastatic stem cells (MetSCs) promises to block metastatic dissemination. Colorectal cancer (CRC) cells overexpressing CXCR4 display trafficking functions and metastasis-initiating capacity. We assessed the antimetastatic activity of a nanoconjugate (T22-GFP-H6-FdU) that selectively delivers Floxuridine to CXCR4<sup>+</sup> cells. In contrast to free oligo-FdU, intravenous T22-GFP-H6-FdU selectively accumulates and internalizes in CXCR4<sup>+</sup> cancer cells, trigger ...[more]
