Abstract

The development of liposomes targeted to angiogenic endothelial cells offers exciting prospects for intervention in cancer and inflammation. Several proteins are (strongly) over-expressed on angiogenic endothelial cells as compared to the quiescent endothelium, and could potentially serve as targets for site-specific drug delivery. In this contribution particular attention is given to the design of targeted long-circulating liposomes directed against the alpha v beta 3-integrin protein.
