Significance of heme oxygenase in prolactin-mediated cell proliferation and angiogenesis in human endothelial cells.

abstract：:A number of cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) have been reported, but their transduction efficiencies are too low to be used as intracellular carriers for therapeutic purposes. We conducted a comprehensive search to find novel CPPs using an in vitro virus (IVV) library, which presented random peptides consisting of 15 ...
