New amphiphilic amino acid derivatives for efficient DNA transfection in vitro [PDF]
, 2017 Nucleic acids-based therapies have recently developed as next-generationagents for treating and preventing viral infection, cancer, and genetic disorders,but their use is still limited due to its relatively poor delivery into targetedcells.

Cell-penetrating peptides transport therapeutics into cells [PDF]
Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2015 Nearly 30years ago, certain small, relatively nontoxic peptides were discovered to be capable of traversing the cell membrane. These cell-penetrating peptides, as they are now called, have been shown to not only be capable of crossing the cell membrane themselves but can also carry many different therapeutic agents into cells, including small molecules,

Use of single-chain antibody derivatives for targeted drug delivery [PDF]
, 2016 Single-chain antibodies (scFvs), which contain only the variable domains of full-length antibodies, are relatively small molecules that can be used for selective drug delivery.

A brief introduction to cell‐penetrating peptides [PDF]
Journal of Molecular Recognition, 2003 AbstractCell membranes act as protective walls to exclude most molecules that are not actively imported by living cells. This is an efficient way for a cell to prevent uncontrolled influx or efflux of solutes, which otherwise would be harmful to it.

Peptide-based delivery of therapeutics in cancer treatment
Materials Today Bio, 2022 Current delivery strategies for cancer therapeutics commonly cause significant systemic side effects due to required high doses of therapeutic, inefficient cellular uptake of drug, and poor cell selectivity.

Targeting the hard to reach: Challenges and novel strategies in the treatment of intracellular bacterial infections: Targeting intracellular bacteria [PDF]
, 2016 Infectious diseases continue to threaten human and animal health and welfare globally, impacting millions of lives and causing substantial economic loss. The use of antibacterials has been only partially successful in reducing disease impact.

Epoxysuccinyl peptide-derived cathepsin B inhibitors: Modulating membrane permeability by conjugation with the C-terminal heptapeptide segment of penetratin [PDF]
, 2002 Besides its physiological role in lysosomal protein breakdown, extralysosomal cathepsin B has recently been implicated in apoptotic cell death. Highly specific irreversible cathepsin B inhibitors that are readily cellpermeant should be useful tools to ...

Properties of cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) [PDF]
IUBMB Life, 2006 Different approaches have been developed for the introduction of macromolecules, proteins and DNA into target cells. Viral (retroviruses, lentiviruses, etc.) and nonviral (liposomes, bioballistics etc.) vectors as well as lipid particles have been tested as DNA delivery systems.

How much dystrophin is enough: the physiological consequences of different levels of dystrophin in the mdx mouse [PDF]
, 2015 Splice modulation therapy has shown great clinical promise in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, resulting in the production of dystrophin protein. Despite this, the relationship between restoring dystrophin to established dystrophic muscle and its ability to ...
