Abstract: The present invention provides kits and methods for detecting peptides that change of the fluorescence of dyes upon binding to the dye. In addition, the invention provides methods for identifying said peptides.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods of treating a subject having a primary inflammatory disease or disorder comprising administering to the subject a composition comprising a conjugate of an LLP2A peptidomimetic ligand and a bisphosphonate drug, wherein the composition comprising the LLP2A-bisphosphonate conjugate enhances the delivery of mesenchymal stem cells to a site of inflammation. Methods of enhancing an anti-inflammatory or immunomodulatory property of mesenchymal stem cells, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof the mesenchymal stem cells and a composition comprising a conjugate of an LLP2A peptidomimetic ligand and a bisphosphonate drug, are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides compounds and pharmaceutical compositions of a peptidomimetic ligand, e.g. LLP2A, conjugated with a bisphosphonate drug, e.g. Alendronate. The compounds and pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are useful in the treatment of osteoporosis and for the promotion of bone growth due to their specificity for the ?4?1 integrin on mesenchymal stem cells and for the surface of bone.
