      Evaluation Summary:

      Although the role of membrane potential in Cell Permeable Peptides (CPP) translocation has been consistently described in artificial systems, this multi scale study, combining cell biology, genetics and in silico approaches, further extends this topic to a live cell context where it shows that internalization stops when the membrane polarization is decreased by the removal of potassium channels. It proposes an original mechanism of CPP translocation based on water pore formation, which should be of interest for biophysicists, cell biologists and for applications such as drug delivery.
