Nucleic acid delivery by cell-penetrating peptides

Abstract

Establishment of multiple novel mechanisms and applications of cell-penetrating peptides (CPP) has been demonstrated, leading to novel drug delivery systems. Here, I present a brief introduction to the CPP area together with the selected recent achievements in the delivery of nucleic acids.
