A Novel Venom-Derived Peptide for Brachytherapy of Glioblastoma: Preclinical Studies in Mice

We developed a bacterial expression system to produce a recombinant disintegrin, vicrostatin (VCN), whose structure is based on a natural disintegrin isolated from southern copperhead snake venom. Our goal is to develop VCN for potential clinical translation as an anti-cancer agent. VCN is a peptide...
