Peptides are naturally occurring short chains of amino acids whose synthetic versions have found applications in many areas, such as skin care, bodybuilding, and weight loss, due to their ability to trigger desirable effects in the human body

Lipophilic drugs can cross the RBC lipid membrane by simple diffusion, while hydrophilic compounds can enter due to the aqueous channels or other membrane-facilitated or active transport systems such as Glut1 (Magnani et al., 2012)
Such sensors have revolutionised our understanding of countless previously intractable biological processes, particularly when dealing with small subcellular compartment-specific dynamics, and have underpinned numerous novel discoveries
