Cell-penetrating peptides as a delivery system for oligonucleotides

Drug Discovery World

To address these problems, it’s vital to develop delivery systems that enable oligonucleotides to reach their targets: cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) present a potential solution to this issue. Currently, only a small number of CPP-based oligonucleotide delivery examples have been reported for in vivo application. Nanoparticles 6.
