Cancer is the second leading cause of death with 14 million new cases and 8.2 million cancer-related deaths worldwide in 2012. Despite the progress made in cancer therapies, neoplastic diseases are still a major therapeutic challenge notably because of intra- and inter-malignant tumor heterogeneity and adaptation/escape of malignant cells to/from treatment. New targeted therapies need to be developed to improve our medical arsenal and counter-act cancer progression. Human kallikrein-related peptidases

INTRODUCTION Drug delivery Systems Drug delivery systems (DDS) have been developed in order to control pharmacological parameters such as bioavailability, biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of the administered substances. Bioavailability is defined as the percentage of an administered dose of therapeutic agent that becomes available in the systemic circulation in its active form. Drug delivery systems can enhance bioavailability by increasing in-vivohalf-lives of fragile pharmaceuticals e.g. protection

Introduction 1. Normal mammary gland 1.1 normal mammary gland anatomies The normal breast sits on the chest muscle, consisting mainly of adipose tissue, also known as mammary fat pad. The mature mammary gland is composed of 15-20 lobes, which are each composed of smaller structure called lobules. Tiny Lactiferous ducts connect lobules to each other. (Fig. 1b) (Schneider and Bocker). A typical structure of duct is composed of a hollow lumen, enclosed by a layer of epithelial luminal cells that produce
