Peptide research, regulation, discovery. Every story links to the peptide it’s about.
RSSBicycle Therapeutics' EphA2 BIA, a gallium-68-labeled bicyclic peptide, lit up liver, bone, lymph node, and peritoneal metastases across AACR 2026's first-in-human pancreatic cancer cohort.
A review in Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's maps the case for FOXO4-DRI, a retro-inverso peptide senolytic that selectively triggers apoptosis in senescent cells. In aged mouse models, it reversed hippocampal atrophy and cleared amyloid.
The biggest oncology meeting of the year has an accidental theme: peptides are powering at least three new drug classes landing at the same time. A map of who's there and what they showed.
A new analysis covering 54,680 transplant recipients found those on GLP-1 drugs were about half as likely to die. Heart problems dropped by about the same amount. The first clear picture for a high-risk population.
A late-stage substudy showed semaglutide lowering an Alzheimer's biological marker in spinal fluid. The same week, a peer-reviewed review mapped three peptide classes already in Alzheimer's trials.
