Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative condition characterized by the aggregation of amyloid-β plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain, leading to synaptic dysfunction and neuronal degeneration. Recently, new treatment approaches involving drugs such as donanemab and lecanemab have been introduced for AD. However, these drug regimens have been associated with adverse effects, leading to the exploration of gene therapy as a potential treatment option. The apolipoprotein E (ApoE) isoforms (ApoE2, ApoE3, and ApoE4) play pivotal roles in AD pathology, with ApoE2 known for its protective effects against AD, making it a promising candidate for gene therapy interventions. However, delivering therapeutics across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) remains a crucial challenge in treating neurological disorders. Liposomes, lipid-based vesicles, are effective nanocarriers due to their ability to shield therapeutics from degradation, though they often lack specificity for brain delivery. To address this issue, liposomes were functionalized with cell-penetrating peptides such as penetratin (Pen), cingulin (Cgn), and a targeting ligand transferrin (T
