research index / trialsPeptides
A peptide-tracking index updated July 15 that aggregates PubMed and trial activity across multiple peptide candidates. It includes recent status changes and trial counts for agents such as eloralintide, apelin, and oxytocin, but is not a primary news source.
STK25 Inhibits Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Metastasis via the TGF-β/SMAD2 Signaling Pathway in Colorectal Cancer
Identifies STK25 as a regulator of epithelial-mesenchymal transition and metastasis in colorectal cancer through TGF-β/SMAD2 signaling. The snippet does not indicate a peptide therapeutic, so it is a weaker peptide-news fit.
peptide discoveryGenetically Encoding Propiolamide Warhead for the Construction of Phage Displayed Cyclic Peptide Library
Researchers reported a genetically encoded propiolamide warhead for building phage-displayed cyclic peptide libraries, and used biopanning to identify a cyclic peptide inhibitor targeting SARS-CoV-2 main protease.
