Peptides' Multifunctional Applications in Cancer Therapy

Peptides serve as versatile tools in cancer therapy due to their ability to target tumors precisely, deliver drugs, and disrupt key biological processes. They excel in tissue penetration and cellular uptake compared to antibodies, despite shorter half-lives. This article details their roles in delivering nanoparticles, extracellular vesicles, and interfering with receptors and protein interactions.
