Abstract:
Besides being able to specially target tumor tissues, anticancer peptides have other advantages such as easy synthesis, low immunogenicity, high potency, low toxicity, and easy access. These peptides exert their anti-tumor effects through mechanisms such as modulating immune system, killing tumor cells directly, and/or inhibiting tumor metastasis.
