Cell-Penetrating Peptides: Design Strategies beyond Primary Structure and Amphipathicity.
Efficient intracellular drug delivery and target specificity are often hampered by the presence of biological barriers. Thus, compounds that efficiently cross cell membranes are the key to improving the therapeutic value and on-target specificity of non-permeable drugs. The discovery of cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) and the early design approaches through mimicking the natural penetration do...
متن کاملCell penetrating and transytosing peptides: powerful strategies for oral insulin delivery
Insulin is essential for type 1 and advanced type 2 diabetes to maintain blood glucose levels and increase the patient’s longevity. Frequent subcutaneous insulin injections are usually associated with pain, local tissue necrosis, infection and nerve damage. Recently, a number of new delivery methods such as oral insulin delivery have been developed to overcome these limitations and increase pa...
متن کاملCell-penetrating peptides and bioactive cargoes. Strategies and mechanisms
Cell membrane is an impermeable barrier for most macromolecules. Recently discovered cellpenetrating peptides (CPPs) have gained lot of attention because they can cross the membrane, and, even more, carry cargoes with them. How do CPPs enter the cells is still not clear, while the delivery of different cargoes has been convincingly shown. This thesis concentrates on evaluating CPPs as vectors f...
متن کاملCell-penetrating peptides and oligonucleotides: Design, uptake and therapeutic applications
Regulation of biological processes through the use of genetic elements is a central part of biological research and also holds great promise for future therapeutic applications. Oligonucleotides comprise a class of versatile biomolecules capable of modulating gene regulation. Gene therapy, the concept of introducing genetic elements in order to treat disease, presents a promising therapeutic st...
متن کاملCell Penetrating Peptides
During the last ten years it has been observed that a number of peptides and proteins are able to penetrate the cell membrane and enter the cell. Furthermore, it has been shown that even many cargo molecules that are covalently attached to these peptides will be translocated into the cell. Peptides that show the ability to translocate through the cell membrane are usually short peptides of less...
