Abstract
Protein therapeutics cannot reach the brain in sufficient amounts because of their low permeability across the blood-brain barrier. Here we report a new family of bicyclic peptide shuttles, BrainBikes, capable of increasing transport of proteins, including antibody derivatives, in a human cell-based model of the blood-brain barrier.
