Abstract: Disclosed are peptides and peptidomimetics that in some embodiments include the amino acid sequence KRGARST or (SEQ ID NO: 1), AKRGARSTA or (SEQ ID NO: 2), or CKRGARSTC (SEQ ID NO: 3).

Abstract: Described herein are peptides, compositions, and methods for diagnosing, detecting, imaging, monitoring, preventing, treating, or ameliorating diseases or disorders including cancer, inflammatory disorder, and autoimmune disease.

Abstract: Compositions and methods useful for delivery of targeted therapies for pulmonary arterial hypertension, sepsis, cancer and cachexia. The compositions and methods are based on peptide pharmacophores that selectively bind to and home to diseased tissue and enable targeted therapies to affect a beneficial therapeutic result. Peptide pharmacophores may selectively target tumor vasculature, regenerating tissue, wounded tissue, inflamed tissue, fibrotic tissue, remodeled tissue, tissue characterized by elevated heparanase levels, and have the ability to internalize into such diseased cells.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for treating solid tumor cancers.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods useful for targeting and internalizing molecules into cells of interest and for penetration by molecules of tissues of interest. The compositions and methods are based on peptide sequences that are selectively internalized by a cell, penetrate tissue, or both. The disclosed internalization and tissue penetration is useful for delivering therapeutic and detectable agents to cells and tissues of interest.

Abstract: The present invention is based on the seminal discovery of a panel of targeting peptides and antibodies that can recognize AD brains at different stages of the disease, starting from early to advanced stage. The peptide probes described here are unique in the field and can be expected to advance understanding on early neurodegenerative changes associated with AD and improve the therapeutic outcomes by early detection and intervention in AD. Further, the invention provides antibodies that can be used to treat AD.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating acute brain injury and acute nervous system injury, which include administering to a subject suffering from an acute brain injury or an acute nervous system injury, a therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising the amino acid sequence CAQK (SEQ ID NO:4).

Abstract: Compositions are disclosed which include a CAQK peptide linked or conjugated to a cargo composition, where the peptide selectively homes the composition to a site of nervous system injury in a subject.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and compositions for treating traumatic brain injury (TBI). A brain injury-specific 4-amino acid peptide (sequence CAQK), identified by in vivo phage display screening in mice with acute brain injury, shows selective binding to mouse and human brain injury lesions, and when systemically injected, specifically homes to sites of injury in penetrating and non-penetrating (controlled cortical impact) brain injury models. Significantly, the peptide alone produces therapeutic effect and so can be used in the absence of any other therapeutic compound.

Abstract: Provided herein are biomolecule conjugates, and methods of use thereof, wherein the conjugate comprises a cytokine, typically an immunopotentiating cytokine, and a peptide comprising or consisting of the sequence CSGRRSSKC (SEQ ID NO:1). Biomolecule conjugates of the invention find application, inter alia, in the treatment of tumours, atherosclerosis and fibrosis, and the degradation of ECM associated therewith. Also provided herein are uses of a peptide comprising or consisting of the sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, optionally linked to a detectable agent and/or a carrier, in the detection and/or localisation of tumour, atherosclerotic and fibrotic tissue.
