Integrin α2β1-targeting ferritin nanocarrier traverses the blood–brain barrier for effective glioma chemotherapy
Abstract Background Ferritin, the natural iron storage protein complex, self-assembles into a uniform cage-like structure. Human H-ferritin (HFn) has been shown to transverse the blood–brain barrier (BBB) by binding to transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1), which is abundant in endothelial cells and overexp...
