“…Examples include those that develop in dried mud [1][2][3] , old paintings 4,5 , ceramic glaze 6,7 , and so on. These cracks usually exhibit a specific network structure, splitting the entire surface of the fractured media into many polygonal cells.…”

We investigate the geometry of two-dimensional polygonal cracking that forms on the air-exposed surface of dried starch slurries. Two different kinds of starches, made from potato and corn, exhibited distinguished crack evolution, and there were contrasting effects of slurry thickness on the probability distribution of the polygonal cell area. The experimental findings are believed to result from the difference in the shape and size of starch grains, which strongly influence the capillary transport of water and tensile stress field that drives the polygonal cracking.

“…When co-administered with small molecule, nanoparticle or monoclonal antibody, these CendR peptides could improve their therapeutic index significantly by its selective accumulation and penetration into tumors, triggering tumor-specific penetration of the co-administered compounds [139]. On the other hand, these peptides could also help deliver nano-sized carriers into tumor tissues [143][144][145][146], rendering themselves as outstanding tumor-homing ligands for various drug delivery platforms. iRGD also showed anti-metastatic activity, which provided additional benefit in metastatic tumor therapy [147].…”

Cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) have received substantial attention due to their intrinsic property to cross plasma membranes or even as helpers to facilitate the cellular entry of drug molecules, macromolecules, and nanoparticles. Although CPPs and CPP-like peptides provided versatile platforms for drug delivery, their nonselectivity or lack of delivery efficiency is stirring up debates as to the tactics for the optimizing the CPPs themselves. The good news is that, as spurred by the recent progress in the understanding of tumor microenvironment as well as biochemistry and material sciences, we have made attempts in working on perfecting or even "taming" CPPs and CPP-functionalized drug vectors for tumor delivery, and some of them afforded gratifying results. Due to the fact that these peptides are mainly short peptides made up of amino acids (5-30 amino acids), the addition, modification, or replacement of amino acids might lead to surprisingly improved performance. Several novel environment-responsive CPPs or CPP-like peptides have also been discovered. In this review we will discuss the measures taken to harness the power of CPPs and the discovery of environment-responsive peptides with CPP properties.
