text: Cell Surface Peptides provide one way to introduce drug delivery into a target cell. This method is accomplished by the peptide binding to a target cells surface receptors, in a way that bypasses immune defenses that would otherwise compromise a slower delivery, without causing harm to the host. In particular, peptides, such as intercellular adhesion molecule-1, have shown a great deal of binding ability in a target cell. This method has shown a degree of efficacy in treating both autoimmune diseases as well as forms of cancer as a result of this binding affinity. Peptide mediated delivery is also of promise due to the low cost of creating the peptides as well as the simplicity of their structure.
