Cell-Penetrating Peptides: From Basic Research to Clinics

TL;DR: In this article, cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) have been used to increase medicament concentrations in areas that are difficult to access, which can transport into the cell a wide variety of biologically active conjugates.
Journal ArticleDOI

CPPsite 2.0: a repository of experimentally validated cell-penetrating peptides

TL;DR: In order to understand the structure-function relationship of these peptides, the predicted tertiary structure of CPPs, possessing both modified and natural residues, using state-of-the-art techniques are predicted.

A New Concept for Macromolecular Therapeutics in Cancer Chemotherapy: Mechanism of Tumoritropic Accumulation of Proteins and the Antitumor Agent Smancs

TL;DR: It is speculated that the tumoritropic accumulation of smancs and other proteins resulted because of the hypervasculature, an enhanced permeability to even macromolecules, and little recovery through either blood vessels or lymphatic vessels in tumors of tumor-bearing mice.

Cellular uptake of the tat protein from human immunodeficiency virus

TL;DR: Experiments using radioactive protein show that tat becomes localized to the nucleus after uptake and suggest that chloroquine protects tat from proteolytic degradation, raising the possibility that, under some conditions, tat might act as a viral growth factor to stimulate viral replication in latently infected cells or alter expression of cellular genes.

Acid pH in Tumors and Its Potential for Therapeutic Exploitation

TL;DR: Measurement of pH in tissue has shown that the microenvironment in tumors is generally more acidic than in normal tissues, and acid conditions in tumors might allow the development of new and relatively specific types of therapy which are directed against mechanisms which regulate pHi under acid conditions.
