Part I : Peptide functionalized materials for gram-negative bacteria targeted PDT and LPS sensing. Part II : Small peptide and membrane lipid based self-assembled nanostructures fo... by Liu, Fang

“…Part II: Small Peptide and Membrane Lipid Based Self-assembled Nanostructures for Controlled Drug/gene Delivery The usage of nanoscale materials may greatly facilitate the development of novel therapeutic methods for controllable release of bioactive agents at location of diseases with desired dosage, which has been considered to be of clinical significance to guarantee the curative effect while minimizing the drug resistance and other side effects.8-10 Among the available nanocarriers, the self-assembled nanostructures from highly biocompatible materials (e.g. oligo-peptide, membrane lipids, etc) have been extensively studied due to their unique features of high water content, high drug/gene loading efficiency and promising therapeutic effect.11-13 More importantly, they are naturally biocompatible and biodegradable thus ensuring desirable bio-safety, whereas in terms of inorganic nanoparticle-based delivery systems, additional surface modifications were often required to achieve a good biocompatibility. …”
