Lipoplexes are non-viral lipid vectors that effectively form complexes with genetic material, positioning them as promising alternatives to viral vectors in gene therapy. Their advantages include lower toxicity, reduced immunogenicity, improved targetability, and ease of large-scale production. A typical lipoplex is composed of cationic lipids, neutral lipids, and anionic nucleic acids (e.

Drug targeting for brain malignancies is restricted due to the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-brain tumor barrier (BBTB), which act as barriers between the blood and brain parenchyma. Certainly, the limited therapeutic options for brain malignancies have made notable progress with enhanced biological understanding and innovative approaches, such as targeted therapies and immunotherapies. These advancements significantly contribute to improving patient prognoses and represent a promising shift in the landscape of brain malignancy treatments.
