Angiogenic zip code
Article Abstract:
Renata Pasqualiini and a team of researchers have used phage panning to identify a unique peptide, only ten residues long that not only selectively targets angiogenic blood vessels but inhibits the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) MMP-2 and MMP-9. When injected into mice the peptide thwarts both growth and invasion of the tumor.

Therapeutic peptides revisited: after a roller coaster ride of successes and failures, new discovery technologies and advances in manufacturing promise a brighter future for peptides in human therapy
Article Abstract:
Forty years after Nobel laureate Bruce Merfield first explained resin-based peptide synthesis, unusually few peptide products have made it to the clinic. Cost and reliable manufacture of peptides remain stumbling blocks to profitable commercialization.
