A mouse study reports an enzyme-responsive peptide that forms a bladder-local hydrogel depot to retain BCG longer, aiming to reduce washout and improve immune activation in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
Researchers report a bicyclic peptide isomer (10‑Mansa) that selectively inhibits integrin αvβ6 and shows prolonged tumor enrichment in preclinical work, highlighting how 3D peptide shape can make or break targeting.
A 2026 preclinical paper reports vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) can induce autophagy and cytotoxicity in renal cell carcinoma models, with a proposed SIRT3-dependent mechanism. Interesting biology, far from a therapy.
