Some cationic peptides, referred to as CPPs (cell-penetrating peptides), have the ability to
translocate across biological membranes in a non-disruptive way and to overcome the …

Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) have been developed quickly and have attracted
considerable attention for use in the detection and removal of various pollutants …

Central nervous system (CNS) diseases are among the most difficult to treat, mainly
