“…To overcome these obstacles, nanoscale drug delivery systems (DDSs) have attracted more and more attention and been extensively investigated (Chen et al, 2014), such as polymeric micelles (PMs), nanoparticles (NPs), prodrug, and liposome (Zhang et al, 2016;Zylberberg & Matosevic, 2016;Huang et al, 2018;Li et al, 2018;Dong et al, 2019). These effective DDSs are used to deliver hydrophobic or hydrophilic therapeutics which exhibit poor pharmacokinetics and high cytotoxicity to the site of tumor (Wang et al, 2016;Qin et al, 2017;Li et al, 2019). Recently, multilayered liposome-polymer NPs prepared by layer-bylayer (LbL) deposition technique appear as the more promising nano-sized carriers for targeted drug delivery and controlled release (Ariga et al, 2014;Borges & Mano, 2014;Sakr et al, 2016;Olszyna et al, 2019).…”
