Handbook of Cell-Penetrating Peptides (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780367390488)

In this second edition, the authors summarize the current state of the field including recent reevaluations of earlier studies of CPP mechanisms. Beginning with an overview of the classes of peptides and their individual uptake mechanisms, the text then covers the use of CPPs in gene modulation, and the targeting of specific tumors and other tissues-questions that had barely been asked when the first edition was published. By summarizing the diffuse information regarding CPPs, including the ambiguities and variety of mechanisms, this book provides the most solid foundation available from which to expand the potential of this rapidly growing field of medicine.
