TLDR
This work introduces a novel method for in vivo delivery of plasmid DNA (pDNA) and efficient tumor-specific gene induction using intravenous (i.v) administration route and shows that this delivery vector effectively forms nanoparticles, where the condensed CPP and pDNA are shielded by the PEG, in an MMP-reversible manner.

Rational Design of Cancer Nanomedicine: Nanoproperty Integration and Synchronization.

TL;DR: The typical cancer‐drug‐delivery process of an intravenously administered nanomedicine is analyzed and it is concluded that the delivery involves a five‐step CAPIR cascade and that high efficiency at every step is critical to guarantee high overall therapeutic efficiency.

Cell-Penetrating Peptides: Design Strategies beyond Primary Structure and Amphipathicity.

TL;DR: A variety of CPP designs will be described, including linear and flexible, positively charged and often amphipathic CPPs, and more rigid versions comprising cyclic, stapled, or dimeric and/or multivalent, self-assembled peptides or peptido-mimetics.

A Toll-like receptor recognizes bacterial DNA.

TL;DR: It is shown that cellular response to CpG DNA is mediated by a Toll-like receptor, TLR9, and vertebrate immune systems appear to have evolved a specific Toll- like receptor that distinguishes bacterial DNA from self-DNA.

Stealth liposomes: review of the basic science, rationale, and clinical applications, existing and potential.

TL;DR: Stealth liposomes can be actively targeted with monoclonal antibodies or ligands and encapsulating active molecules, with high target efficiency and activity by synthetic modification of the terminal PEG molecule.

Tumor imaging by means of proteolytic activation of cell-penetrating peptides.

TL;DR: In mice xenografted with human tumor cells secreting matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9, ACPPs bearing a far-red-fluorescent cargo show in vivo contrast ratios of 2-3 and a 3.1-fold increase in standard uptake value for tumors relative to contralateral normal tissue or control peptides with scrambled linkers.

A new peptide vector for efficient delivery of oligonucleotides into mammalian cells

TL;DR: This new strategy of oligonucleotide delivery into cultured cells based on a peptide vector offers several advantages compared to other commonly used approaches of delivery including efficiency, stability and absence of cytotoxicity, and is proposed as a powerful tool for potential development in gene and antisense therapy.
