Peptides are excellent biomolecular receptors and interactions between peptide and nanoparticle have played a major role in controlled drug delivery. Peptide-based nanoparticles (pep-NPs) are emerging as promising imaging and therapeutic agents against cancer due to their biocompatibility and tunability. This mini review dealt with development of new peptide-incorporated nanoparticles for imaging and drug delivery applications for detection and treatment of brain cancer.
