Another interesting paper reports on the efficacy of multifunctional vinblastine liposomes equipped with transferrin receptor binding peptide TfR-T12 and octa-arginine conjugate stearyl-R8 that triggered necrosis, apoptosis and programmed cell death via autophagy in brain-glioma-bearing mice (Mu et al., 2017). Here, TFRC is linked to central nervous system cancer.
