Dual functionalized brain-targeting nanoinhibitors restrain temozolomide-resistant glioma via attenuating EGFR and MET signaling pathways

Receptor tyrosine kinases are often activated in malignant gliomas. Here, the authors develop a dual functionalized brain targeting nano-inhibitor to simultaneously target EGFR and MET pathways, and show this can overcome temozolomide resistance in glioma.
