In liposome mediated target-specific drug delivery systems, three features need to be taken into consideration: (i) appropriate coating of liposomes to circumvent their clearance by the reticuloendothelial system (RES), 3 (ii) attachment of the target-specific recognition moiety (e.g., antibodies, receptor agonist/antagonist), and (iii) incorporation of the triggering mechanism. 1 Attachment of receptor-specific ligands ensures their adhesions to target cell surfaces. 1,4 Although the ...
