Glioblastoma (GBM), being a formidable disease, has emerged as a ticking time bomb owing to the unavailability of effective treatment modalities, poor prognosis, and limited life expectancy. For effective GBM treatment, intracellular delivery of therapeutics is a dire necessity, which is hindered by the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-tumor barrier (BTB). Nanocarriers (NCs) have emerged as novel biomedical tools for delivering therapeutics for the last so many years.

Conventional treatment modalities like radio-, chemo-, photo-, and immunotherapy employing nanocarriers often face several setbacks, such as non-specific delivery, off-site toxicity, rapid opsonization via the host immune system, and greater tumor recurrence rates.

The targeted delivery approach promisingly helps to surmount the unmet clinical needs of conventional therapies, including chemoresistance, limited penetration, and side effects. In the case of melanoma, various receptors were overexpressed on the tumor site, among which folate receptor (FR) targeting is considered to be a progressive approach for managing melanoma.

The pathophysiology of psoriasis comprises hyperproliferation of cells on the epidermis, differentiation of keratinocytes, and the impaired barrier function of the epidermal layer of the skin, developing in the thickening of the epidermal layer. From a range of inflammatory mediators concerned during the pathogenesis of psoriasis, IL-17, -23, and TNF-α exert a significant influence on the upregulation of the symptoms.
