Apparent blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption is common in glioblastoma (GBM), but has not translated to improved drug delivery efficacy. Recently, de Gooijer et al. demonstrated that efflux transporters can have a prominent role in limiting drug delivery. These transport systems contribute to ineffective drug delivery to tumor cells in the brain.
血脑屏障(BBB)破坏在胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)中很常见,但并未转化为改善药物递送效果。最近,de Gooijer 等人表明,外排转运体在限制药物递送到肿瘤细胞中可能起着重要作用。这些转运系统导致药物在脑内肿瘤细胞中的递送效果不佳。
