3. Translational Tumor Drug Delivery : Doxorubicin formulation performance, intracellular uptake and molecular diffusion
Abstract : Globally, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of liver cancer and a leading cause of cancer death. One important risk factor is liver cirrhosis and the disease progression is characterized by deposition of extracellular matrix proteins that form a fibrous network, which increases liver stiffness and may limit the effectiveness of different treatment strategies.

4. Intracellular Uptake and Membrane Binding of Cell-penetrating Peptides: The Influence of Arginines, Tryptophans and Proteoglycans
Abstract : One of the major limitations in the realization of functional gene therapy is efficient intracellular transport of the therapeutic macromolecules. Amongst several different techniques, cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) have emerged as promising candidates for this purpose. READ MORE

5. Cellular Effects of Cystatins
Abstract : The exact cellular functions of cystatins are still unknown, and the molecular mechanism leading to their internalization into cells is not yet fully understood. Commonly the cystatins are known to inhibit human lysosomal cysteine proteases (cysteine cathepsins) and it is supposed that this is their primary physiological role. READ MORE
