Peptides have been used as drugs to treat various health conditions, and they are also
being developed as diagnostic agents. Due to their receptor selectivity, peptides have …

The classes of neuropharmaceuticals known as proteins and peptides serve as diagnostic
tools and are involved in specific communication in the peripheral and central nervous …

Publisher Summary This chapter highlights the significant advances in brain delivery of
peptide and protein drugs made over the past three decades. While many limitations still …

Peptides are small biological molecules that are attractive in drug delivery and materials
engineering for applications including therapeutics, molecular building blocks and cell …

Abstract The usage of Peptide-Based Drug-delivery systems (PBDs) is a strategy in which
peptides carry a variety of compounds with pharmacological activity into cells. These …

The blood‐brain barrier (BBB) regulates the passage of molecules between the bloodstream
and the brain. Overcoming the difficulty of delivery drugs to specific areas of the brain is a …

One of the most significant biological barriers to delivery of peptides and peptide mimetics is
the intestinal mucosa, which is a cell monolayer with tight intercellular junctions representing …

The modern life style and the increased life expectancy of the human population has led to
the necessity for treatments of a large and diverse number of diseases, including cancer …

Central nervous system (CNS) diseases are among the most difficult to treat, mainly
because the vast majority of the drugs fail to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) or to reach …

Peptides are versatile biomolecules that function as signalling messengers, hormones,
carriers, and drugs. A variety of approaches are employed to engineer peptide-based …
