Rationally designed peptide induces apoptosis and cell cycle modulation in resistant melanoma

The ineffectiveness of conventional therapies against melanoma necessitates the development of novel approaches characterized by high selectivity and low systemic toxicity. Using computational optimization, KW18, a synthetic α-helical peptide, was rationally engineered. It incorporates conserved bio...
