✦ Synopsis

The concept of targeted drugs is not new, but dates back to 1906 when Ehrlich 1 first postulated the 'magic bullet'. The durability of this concept is a strong indication of its appeal, but the 'magic bullet' continues to be a challenge to implement in the clinic. The challenge has been on three fronts: finding

Rapid advancement of the understanding of the structure and function of cell adhesion molecules (i.e., integrins, cadherins) has impacted the design and development of drugs (i.e., peptide, proteins) with the potential to treat cancer and heart and autoimmune diseases. For example, RGD peptides/pept
