Protein delivery with cell-penetrating peptides suffers from ineffective endosomal escape and low tolerance in serum, thereby limiting treatment success. Here the authors present an intracellular protein delivery system and demonstrate efficient delivery in vitro and therapeutic efficacy in a liver failure model in vivo.
