Oligopeptide transporter 1 (PepT1) has been a striking prodrug-designing target. However, the underlying mechanism of PepT1 as a target to facilitate the oral absorption of nanoparticles (NPs) remains unclear. Herein, we modify Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) NPs with the conjugates of dipepti...
