Cell-Penetrating Peptides : Wiley-VCH : 9783527350117 : 352735011X : 04 Jan 2023 : Cell-Penetrating Peptides The definitive reference on the rational design of cell-penetrating peptides enables readers to develop tailor-made peptides for their specific needs. In recent years, cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) have become valuable tools for the cellular delivery of proteins, nucleic acids, and drugs. These small peptide sequences can be artificially designed and synthesized with custom-made characteristics to mediate the efficient and non-toxic transport of biomolecules, drugs, or nanoparticles into the cell. Cell-Penetrating Peptides: Design, Development, and Applications provides an up-to-date account of the development and use of CPPs for delivering membrane-impermeable bioactive molecules into cells. Bringing together contributions from leading researchers from around the world, this comprehensive volume describes the characteristics and mechanisms of CPPs as well as their applic
