A matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) targeted tetrapeptide vesicle has been designed and developed, which strongly binds at a MMP9 enzymatic site. Interestingly, it has a propensity to encapsulate and deliver the doxorubicin drug specifically to the cancer cell, induces superior apoptotic death, and inhibits the metastatic cancer cell migration and growth of multicellular 3D spheroids. © The Royal Society of Chemistry.
