Description
Summary:During the last decade, peptide‐based nanomaterials are recognized as upcoming biomedical materials for tumor imaging and therapy. The rapid expansion of peptides and peptide derivatives is almost owing to their excellent biocompatibility, diverse bioactivity, potential biodegradability, specific biological recognition ability, and easy chemical modification characteristic. The present review outlines the development up to now concerning the design and biomedical applications of peptide‐based multifunctional nanomaterials, with an emphasis on their variegated therapeutic methods. Peptide‐based multifunctional nanomaterials are promising for tumor diagnosis and therapy. This review is divided into three parts based on the major functions of peptides, and developments concerning the design and biomedical applications of peptide‐based multifunctional nanomaterials are discussed.
