Next-Generation Liposomal and Nanoparticle-Based Systems for Glioblastoma: Molecular Targeting Strategies to Overcome the Blood–Brain Barrier

Glioblastoma (GBM) remains one of the most lethal and intractable central nervous system malignancies, characterized by aggressive cellular proliferation, profound hypoxia, and an immunosuppressive microenvironment. The primary pharmacokinetic obstacle for systemic interventions is the blood–brain barrier (BBB), which...
