🗣️ We are looking forward to hosting Prof. Ülo Langel (Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Stockholm University, Sweden) with an invited lecture "Cell-penetrating peptides and oligonucleotide delivery":"PepFect delivery technology for oligonucleotide transfection by transportan based cell-penetrating peptides in vitro and in vivo is described. Recent data on mechanisms and applications of PepFect strategies are summarized on the variety of different cargoes including plasmid, antisense and siRNA oligonucleotides. Nanomaterials based on cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are presented as promising non-viral vectors for gene delivery. The protocol is simple, offers high cell transfection compared to the CPPs-ONs complexes and can be used for further improvements using external stimuli. Possible mechanisms of oligonucleotide delivery by PepFects is discussed and novel data on genome analysis involved in these mechanisms are discussed. Further improvement of these technologies of the modulation of gene expression and identification of novel intracellular interactions in tumors after i.v. administration is discussed, aiming to find novel drug targets, and defining New Chemical Entities for drug development."
