Cell-penetrating peptide-conjugated lipid/polymer hybrid nanovesicles for endoplasmic reticulum-targeting intracellular delivery

Jeong Yi Kang et al.

Summary: The study presents an intracellular delivery approach utilizing cell-penetrating peptide (CPP)-conjugated lipid/polymer hybrid nanovehicles (LPNVs) for ER-targeting, showing efficient uptake by cells and specific ER-targeting ability. Remarkable lysosomal escape of the LPNVs was observed due to effective pH buffering with the aid of PEO-b-PCL-b-PEO, indicating the potential of the LPNVPnt system for elaborate drug delivery technology development at the intracellular level.
