Peptide Assembly Integration of Fibroblast-Targeting and Cell-Penetration Features for Enhanced Antitumor Drug Delivery
An integrated cell-penetrating peptide-assembly-based nanomaterial is engineered as a dual-mode strategy for enhancing nanotherapeutic tumor targeting and penetration through recognition and depletion of cancer-associated fibroblasts. The dual-mode strategy is composed of cancer-associated fibroblast-specific antibody targeting for overcoming tissue barrier and cell-penetration peptide-mediated enhanced cellular uptake.
