The development of highly affine, selective peptides and small molecules in recent years has allowed peptide drugs (PDCs) and small molecule–drug conjugates (SMDCs) to increasingly compete with antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs). This review summarises and describes integrin‐addressing PDCs and SMDCs, while highlighting points of great interest.

Granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor mobilizes bone marrow stem cells in patients with subacute ischemic stroke: the Stem Cell Trial of Recovery EnhanceMent After Stroke (STEMS) Pilot Randomized, Controlled Trial (ISRCTN 16784092) [PDF]
Background and Purpose - Loss of motor function is common after stroke and leads to significant chronic disability. Stem cells are capable of self-renewal and of differentiating into multiple cell types, including neurones, glia, and vascular cells.
