Graphene-tethered peptide nanosheets - A facile approach for cargo molecules in cancer

Abstract

Nanoscale materials have revolutionized the field of drug delivery, offering precise control over the transport and release of cargo molecules. Here, we present a facile approach for constructing graphene-tethered peptide nanosheets as promising vehicles for cargo molecules in cancer therapy. These graphene-tethered peptide nanosheets combine the unique properties of graphene with the specificity of peptides, offering a versatile platform for targeted drug delivery. The synthesis of graphene-tethered peptide nanosheets is straightforward and scalable, making them a practical choice for clinical applications. We demonstrate the potential of graphene-tethered peptide nanosheets as efficient carriers for cargo molecules in cancer treatment, highlighting their exceptional biocompatibility, stability and tunable cargo release properties. This novel nanosheet-based approach holds great promise for improving the efficacy and precision of cancer therapeutics.
