Towards engineering hormone-binding globulins as drug delivery agents.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2014

Chan Wee Lee, Zhou Aiwu, Read Randy J

Abstract excerpt

The treatment of many diseases such as cancer requires the use of drugs that can cause severe side effects. Off-target toxicity can often be reduced simply by directing the drugs specifically to sites of diseases. Amidst increasingly sophisticated methods of targeted drug delivery, we observed that Nature has already evolved elegant means of sending biological molecules to where they are needed. One such example...
