Introduction The biological membranes as natural permeable barriers are required for
survival and function of living cells. However, these natural barriers could be a major …

Efficient intracellular trafficking and targeted delivery to the site of action are essential to
overcome the current drawbacks of cancer therapeutics. Cell Penetrating Peptides (CPPs) …

The hydrophilic nature of peptides and proteins renders them impermeable to cell
membranes. Thus, in order to successfully deliver peptide and protein-based therapeutics …

Recently, much attention has been given to the problem of drug delivery through the cell‐
membrane in order to treat and manage several diseases. The discovery of cell penetrating …

ABSTRACT Introduction: Cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) known as protein translocation
domains (PTD), membrane translocating sequences (MTS), or Trojan peptides (TP) are able …

Cellular uptake of a family of cationic cell-penetrating peptides (examples include Tat
peptides and penetratin) have been ascribed in the literature to a mechanism that does not …

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are tiny light-emitting particles on the nanometer scale,
and are emerging as a new class of fluorescent labels for biology and medicine. In …

The interactions between various functionalized carbon nanotubes and several types of
human cancer cells are explored. We have prepared modified nanotubes and have shown …

Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are short peptides of less than 30 amino acids that are
able to penetrate cell membranes and translocate different cargoes into cells. The only …

The use of membrane-permeable peptides as carrier vectors for the intracellular delivery of
various proteins and macromolecules for modifying cellular function is well documented …
