Abstract: Peptide-immuno-oncology agent complexes (“peptide-I/O complexes”) that can home, target, migrate to, are directed to, are retained by, accumulate in, penetrate, or bind to the tumor microenvironment, tumor tissues, or cells or compartments or cytosol of cells thereof, or any combination thereof, are disclosed. Additionally disclosed are peptide-I/O complexes that can cross the blood-brain barrier. Pharmaceutical compositions and uses for peptide-I/O complexes comprising such peptides are also disclosed. Such compositions can be formulated for targeted delivery of an immuno-oncology agent (“I/O”) to the tumor microenvironment. Targeted compositions of the disclosure can deliver peptide-I/O complexes to target regions, tissues, structures or cells targeted by the peptide.

Abstract: Peptides that home, target, migrate to, are directed to, are retained by, or accumulate in and/or binds to the cartilage of a subject are disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions and uses for peptides or peptide-active agent complexes comprising such peptides are also disclosed. Such compositions can be formulated for targeted delivery of a drug to a target region, tissue, structure or cell in the cartilage. Targeted compositions of the disclosure can deliver peptide or peptide-active agent complexes to target regions, tissues, structures or cells targeted by the peptide.

Abstract: Peptides that home, target, migrate to, are directed to, are retained by, or accumulate in and/or bind to the cartilage or kidney of a subject are disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions and uses for peptides or peptide-active agent complexes comprising such peptides are also disclosed. Such compositions can be formulated for targeted delivery of an active agent to a target region, tissue, structure or cell in the cartilage. Targeted compositions of the disclosure can deliver peptide or peptide-active agent complexes to target regions, tissues, structures, or cells targeted by the peptide.

Abstract: Peptides that home, target, migrate to, are directed to, are retained by, or accumulate in and/or bind to the kidney of a subject are disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions and uses for peptides or peptide-active agent complexes comprising such peptide-active agent conjugates are also disclosed. Such compositions can be formulated for targeted delivery of an active agent to a target region, tissue, structure or cell in the kidney. Targeted compositions of the disclosure can deliver peptide or peptide-active agent complexes to target regions, tissues, structures, or cells targeted by the peptide.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are imaging systems and methods for simultaneous near-infrared light and visible light imaging of a sample comprising: a detector to form a fluorescence image of the sample and a visible image of the sample; a light source configured to emit infrared light to induce fluorescence from the sample; and a plurality of optics arranged to direct the infrared light toward the sample and form the fluorescence image of the sample and the visible light image of the sample on the detector, wherein the infrared light is directed to the sample substantially coaxially with fluorescence light received from the sample in order to decrease shadows.
