Transferrin receptor binding conjugates: MarsRecent Research Landscape

Poor bioavailability across the blood-brain barrier and into muscle tissue limits therapeutic efficacy. Engineering specific molecular ligands to exploit transferrin-mediated transcytosis enables targeted delivery of payloads to previously inaccessible physiological compartments.

What technical problems is Mars addressing in Transferrin receptor binding conjugates?

Insufficient immune system reconstitution

(14)evidences

Insufficient localized immune response at entry sites and poor tumor targeting limit therapeutic efficacy. Enhancing site-specific binding and activation prevents systemic infection and off-target toxicity.

Insufficient targeted therapeutic delivery

(9)evidences

Rapid systemic clearance and short biological half-life of therapeutic agents. Extending circulation duration ensures sustained drug availability and reduces dosing frequency.

Vascular endothelial dysfunction

(8)evidences

Reduced nitric oxide bioavailability and endothelial cell damage lead to systemic and pulmonary vascular resistance. Restoring endothelial health prevents progressive tissue ischemia and hypertensive organ damage.
