Recent applications of cell-penetrating peptide guidance of nanosystems in breast and prostate cancer.

Published in Oncology Letters

Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are small peptides from natural sources or designed from other protein sequences that can penetrate cell membranes. This property has been used in biomedicine to add them to biomolecules to improve their capacity for cell internalization and as a guidance tool for specific cell types. CPPs have been shown to enhance...
