Overview
Glioma represents a brain tumor that develops from glial cells which function to safeguard and maintain healthy neurons. Glioma represents both a common and highly aggressive primary brain tumor type while glioblastoma stands as the most aggressive variant. Gliomas usually show resistance to standard medical interventions which include surgical removal, radiation treatments and chemotherapy sessions. Therefore, novel therapeutic strategies are needed. Targeting Modules and Drug/Module Delivery Systems (TDDS) together create improved treatment outcomes for glioma. Drug delivery to the brain is enhanced through use of module delivery systems including liposomes, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), and exosomes which overcome the blood-brain barrier. Targeting modules such as peptides (e.g., cell-penetrating peptides and homing peptides), antibodies, aptamers, and functionalized lipids help achieve precise glioma cell targeting while minimizing off-target effects. Drug conjugates such as antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and peptide-drug conjugates (PDCs) achieve targeted delivery of toxic agents to glioma cells which enhances treatment effectiveness.

Glioma Targeting Delivery Systems
High-grade gliomas like glioblastoma present significant treatment challenges because of their aggressive behavior coupled with the complex task of effectively administering therapies to the brain. Targeted drug delivery systems represent a hopeful strategy which enhances the precision and effectiveness of glioma treatments while protecting healthy brain cells from harm. Various TDDS delivery systems are available, each tailored to meet specific treatment needs and disease characteristics. Below is a list of common TDDS delivery systems, highlighting their unique features and applications.

Targeting ligands are essential components in the development of targeted drug delivery systems. These ligands selectively bind to specific receptors on the surface of target cells, enabling precise delivery of therapeutic agents. By utilizing targeting ligands, the treatment's effectiveness is enhanced, while minimizing off-target effects. Below is a list of commonly used targeting ligands, showcasing their applications in various therapeutic contexts.
