Lipid-like Self-Assembling Peptide Nanovesicles for Drug Delivery
Amphiphilic self-assembling peptides are functional materials, which, depending on the amino acid sequence, the peptide length, and the physicochemical conditions, form a variety of nanostructures including nanovesicles, nanotubes, and nanovalves. We designed lipid-like peptides with an aspartic acid or lysine hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail composed of six alanines (i.e., ac-A6K-CONH2,...
متن کاملApplication of Collagen-Model Triple-Helical Peptide-Amphiphiles for CD44-Targeted Drug Delivery Systems
Cancer treatment by chemotherapy is typically accompanied by deleterious side effects, attributed to the toxic action of chemotherapeutics on proliferating cells from nontumor tissues. The cell surface proteoglycan CD44 has been recognized as a cancer stem cell marker. The present study has examined CD44 targeting as a way to selectively deliver therapeutic agents encapsulated inside colloidal ...
متن کاملCollagen--biomaterial for drug delivery.
The use of collagen as a biomaterial is currently undergoing a renaissance in the tissue engineering field. The biotechnological applications focus on the aspects of cellular growth or delivery of proteins capable of stimulating cellular response. However, basic knowledge about collagen biochemistry and the processing technology in combination with understanding of the physico-chemical properti...
متن کاملBiomineralization of polyanionic collagen-elastin matrices during cavarial bone repair.
The polyanionic collagen-elastin matrices (PCEMs) are osteoconductive scaffolds that present high biocompatibility and efficacy in the regeneration of bone defects. In this study, the objective was to determine if these matrices are directly mineralized during the osteogenesis process and their influence in the organization of the new bone extracellular matrix. Samples of three PCEMs, differing...
متن کاملDestruction of extracellular matrices containing glycoproteins, elastin, and collagen by metastatic human tumor cells.
Four human tumor cell lines were grown in direct contact with the extracellular matrix proteins which had previously been produced by cultured rat smooth muscle cells. The extracellular matrix contained glycoproteins, elastin, and collagen, and its digestion by the tumor cells was followed by the appearance of radioactive breakdown products in the supernatant medium. All four tumor lines tested...
