Caveolin-Mediated Internalization of Fmoc-FF Nanogels in Breast Cancer Cell Lines
Introduction: Hydrogel nanoparticles, also known as nanogels (NGs), have been recently proposed as alternative supramolecular vehicles for the delivery of biologically relevant molecules like anticancer drugs and contrast agents. The inner compartment of

Bioactive angiotensin peptides [PDF]
Angiotensin II is recognised as the principle active peptide of the renin-angiotensin system, exerting effects on fluid and electrolyte homeostasis, and cardiovascular control including neural and long term trophic effects. However, recent studies indicate that other angiotensin peptides such as angiotensin III, angiotensin II (1-7) and angiotensin IV,
