self-assembling peptides

Peptides Enabling Targeted and Efficient Drug Delivery

Peptides, made of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, offer high efficiency, low toxicity, and strong specificity for drug delivery. They address challenges like enzymatic breakdown, short half-lives, and poor cell penetration through targeted, cell-penetrating, responsive, and self-assembling designs. Combined with modifications and nanocarriers, peptides improve stability, bioavailability, and precise drug release in areas like cancer therapy and regenerative medicine.
