  2. 1. Uptake signalling of PepFect 14

    Author : Maxime Gestin; Ülo Langel; Amelie Eriksson Karlström; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : Cell-penetrating peptides are able to bind and carry various therapeutic agents including oligonucleotides into cells for a therapeutic effect. The aim of the cell-penetrating peptide research field is to produce a simple, safe and potent delivery platform for intracellular therapy and more especially for gene therapy. READ MORE

  4. 2. In-silico design of peptide-based transfection systems, in-vitro validation, and up-take pathways investigation

    Author : Moataz Dowaidar; Ülo Langel; IngMarie Nilsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell-penetrating peptides; QSAR; PepFect; neurokemi med molekylär neurobiologi; Neurochemistry with Molecular Neurobiology;

    Abstract : Cell-penetrating peptide-based transfection systems (PBTS) are a promising group of drug delivery vectors. Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are short cationic peptides that are able of transporting cell non-permeant cargos into different cell types. READ MORE

  5. 3. Cell-penetrating peptide based nanocomplexes for oligonucleotide delivery

    Author : Jakob Regberg; Ülo Langel; Arwyn Tomos Jones; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell-penetrating peptides; oligonucleotides; gene therapy; drug delivery; scavenger receptors; blood-brain barrier; neurokemi med molekylär neurobiologi; Neurochemistry with Molecular Neurobiology;

    Abstract : Oligonucleotide-based drugs hold great promise for the treatment of many types of diseases, ranging from genetic disorders to viral infections and cancer. The problem is that efficient delivery across the cell membrane is required for oligonucleotides to have their desired effect. Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) provide a solution to this problem.

  6. 4. Peptide-based delivery to glioblastoma cells studied by the blood-brain barrier model

    Author : Artita Srimanee; Ülo Langel; Ing-Marie Nilsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; peptide-based delivery; blood-brain barrier; glioblastoma; neurokemi med molekylär neurobiologi; Neurochemistry with Molecular Neurobiology;

    Abstract : Crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a great challenge for delivery of highly charged macromolecules such as nucleic acids and proteins to the brain. Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are promising vectors to deliver various cargoes ranging from small molecules to large molecules such as antibodies, proteins, and nucleic acids. READ MORE

  7. 5. Rational design and applications of cell-penetrating peptides

    Author : Jakob Regberg; Ülo Langel; Amelie Eriksson Karlström; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neurokemi med molekylär neurobiologi; Neurochemistry with Molecular Neurobiology;

    Abstract : Cell-penetrating peptides are peptides capable of translocating the cellular membrane and entering the cell, either alone or together with a cargo. Potential applications of cell-penetrating peptides include drug delivery and gene therapy. READ MORE
