Doxorubicin-Loaded Polyelectrolyte Multilayer Capsules Modified with Antitumor DR5-Specific TRAIL Variant for Targeted Drug Delivery to Tumor Cells.

Recently, biodegradable polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules (PMC) have been proposed for anticancer drug delivery. In many cases, microencapsulation allows to concentrate the substance locally and prolong its flow to the cells. To reduce systemic toxicity when delivering highly toxic drugs, such as doxorubicin (DOX), the development of a combined delivery system is of paramount importance.
