Illustration of tumour blood vessel fenestration due to the tumour growth and inflammatory condition in this tissue. The liposomes circulate in the blood and extravasate into the extracellular space through pores between the endothelial cells lining the blood vessel. Here the liposomes can encounter secreted enzymes such as sPLA2 or MMPs that then hydrolyze membrane moieties and induce drug release.
