Abstract
The present invention relates to a delivery carrier including liposomes or nanoparticles for targeting the cells expressed with somatostatin receptor, consisting of a plurality of liposomes that have one phospholipid bilayer coating, one hydrophilic core and a bioactive substance. The bioactive substance is packaged in the hydrophilic core, or embedded in the phospholipid bilayer, or electrically bound with liposomes as a complex, wherein the phospholipid bilayer coating is conjugated with a plurality of molecules in the outer surface. The molecules recognize the somatostatin receptor in the surface of the target cells and induce receptor-mediated endocytosis.
