The Design of Elastin-Like Polypeptides (ELPs) as a Nanoparticulate-Based Therapeutic and Diagnostic Imaging Agent

Article Preview

Abstract:

The goal of our study is to develop genetically engineered polypeptides that self-assemble into nanoparticulates, which can present functional moieties on their exterior and sequester drugs and/or imaging agents within their interior. These particulates are intended to improve the detection and treatment of malignancy.
