Abstract

This interdisciplinary research highlights the engineering of glycolipid nanomicelles with surface modification using a BBB crossing peptide for in vivo drug delivery especially for glioma therapy. We demonstrated an eco-friendly, green synthesis of a nanomicelle followed by felicitous characterization which substantiates the merits of the drug delivery system.
