Breaching Biological Barriers: Protein Translocation Domains as Tools for Molecular Imaging and Therapy

The lipid bilayer of a cell presents a significant barrier for the delivery of many molecular imaging reagents into cells at target sites in the body. Protein translocation domains (PTDs) are peptides that breach this barrier. Conjugation of PTDs to imaging agents can be utilized to facilitate the d...
