  • Peptides and supported peptides for treating skin diseases
    Patent number: 7524816
    Abstract: The present invention provides peptides and supported peptides for treating proliferative diseases. In particularly preferred embodiments, the present invention provides peptides and supported peptides for treating diseases of the skin, such as rosacea. In some particularly preferred embodiments, the supported peptides of the present invention are anti-VEGF peptides. In alternative particularly preferred embodiments, the anti-VEGF peptides are expressed on a scaffold protein. In some most preferred embodiments, the scaffold proteins is BBI.
