An ultra-stable redox-controlled self-assembling polypeptide nanotube for targeted imaging and therapy in cancer
Abstract We introduce a self-assembling polypeptide-based nanotube system having the ability to specifically target cancer cells. The nanotubes target the cancer cell surface through integrin engagement with the help of multiple RGD units present along their surface. While the nanotubes are non-toxi...
