CD44 and cancer: In summary, based on the results obtained in this study and previously published studies, while the novel FKBPL-based anti-cancer therapeutic peptides, ALM201 and AD-01, are not cytotoxic, these agents have multiple synergistic anti-tumour activities including anti-angiogenic, anti-CSC and anti-metastatic involving CD44, and possibly, DLL4 and Notch 4 which gives them a clinical advantage over other anti-angiogenic agents.
