What are the applications of CPPs in Nanotechnology?
CPPs have a wide range of applications in nanotechnology, including but not limited to:
1. Drug Delivery: CPPs can transport chemotherapeutic agents, antibiotics, and other drugs into cells, enhancing their efficacy and reducing side effects. 2. Gene Therapy: CPPs are used to deliver nucleic acids such as DNA, RNA, and siRNA into cells, facilitating gene editing and silencing. 3. Nanoparticle Delivery: CPPs can be conjugated with nanoparticles to improve their cellular uptake and targeting capabilities. 4. Imaging and Diagnostics: CPPs can deliver contrast agents into cells for improved imaging in diagnostic procedures.
