1. Rational modifications of cell-penetrating peptides for drug delivery : Applications in tumor targeting and oligonucleotide delivery
Abstract : High molecular weight biomolecules are becoming important in the development of new therapeutics. However, their size and nature creates a major limitation for their application – poor penetration through biological membranes. READ MORE

2. Cell-penetrating peptides in cargo delivery : In vitro studies on uptake and in vivo studies on tumor targeting
Abstract : The capability of cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) to transport cargos over different cellular membranes both in vitro and in vivo have drawn major attention in the past decade. Three main topics on the application of CPPs have been studied in this thesis. READ MORE

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

4. Vectorization of oligonucleotides with cell-penetrating peptides : Characterization of uptake mechanisms and cytotoxicity
Abstract : The hydrophobic plasma membrane constitutes an indispensable barrier for cells in living animals. Albeit being pivotal for the maintenance of cells, the inability to cross the plasma membrane is still one of the major obstacles to overcome in order to progress current drug development. READ MORE

5. Cell-penetrating peptides and bioactive cargoes : Strategies and mechanisms
Abstract : The cell membrane is an impermeable barrier for most macromolecules. Recently discovered cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) have gained lot of attention because they can cross the membrane, and even more, carry cargoes with them. How CPPs enter cells is still not clear, while the delivery of different cargoes has been convincingly shown. READ MORE
