Targeting and Receptor: Liposomes in Cancer Treatment

This lecture discusses the importance of targeting in cancer treatment, focusing on the transition from normal to cancerous cells, the formation of tumors, and the spread of metastases. The use of liposomes loaded with a drug that blocks cell division is explored, along with the challenges of drug specificity and the potential of targeted drug delivery systems. The lecture also covers a study on liposomes and peptides in glioblastoma treatment, showing promising results in vitro and in vivo. The presentation concludes with a discussion on the limitations of current treatments and the need for more targeted and effective therapies.
