Peptide-Based Nanostructured Materials with Intrinsic Proapoptotic Activities in CXCR4+ Solid Tumors Naroa Serna, María Virtudes Céspedes, Laura Sánchez-García, Ugutz Unzueta, Rita Sala, Alejandro Sánchez-Chardi, Francisco Cortés, Neus Ferrer-Miralles, Ramón Mangues, Esther Vázquez, Antonio Villaverde http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adfm.201700919/full Abstract Protein materials are gaining interest in nanomedicine because of the unique combination of regulatable function and structure. A main application of protein nanoparticles is as vehicles for cell-targeted drug delivery in the form of nanoconjugates, in which a conventional or innovative drug is associated to a carrier protein. Here, a new nanomedical approach based on self-assembling protein nanoparticl
