Origin of PeptideArginine-terminated peptide dendrimers of varying positive charge
Nature of Peptide/CargoPeptide dendrimers are wedge-like molecules comprising an amino acid branching core that is most typically decorated with various basic amino acids (e.g. Lys, His, Arg) on their head groups
MechanismIncreased transepidermal water loss and decreased skin resistance due to the interaction of dendrimers with skin lipids
