VirPorters: Insights into the action of cationic and histidine-rich cell-penetrating peptides.

TLDR
In this article, the authors investigated whether three cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs), namely, octa-arginine R8, polyhistidine KH27K and histidine-rich LAH4, could promote cytosolic and/or nuclear transfer of unique model nanoparticles derived from Murine polyomavirus.

The influence of endosome-disruptive peptides on gene transfer using synthetic virus-like gene transfer systems.

TL;DR: A strong correlation between pH-specific erythrocyte disruption activity and gene transfer was observed and a high-level expression of luciferase or interleukin-2 was obtained with optimized gene transfer complexes in human melanoma cells and several cell lines.

The design and synthesis of polymers for eukaryotic membrane disruption

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that pH-sensitive synthetic polymers can be molecularly engineered to efficiently disrupt eukaryotic membranes within defined and narrow pH ranges and might serve as endosomal disruptive agents with specificities for early or late endosomes.
