In 2016, a chimeric 19-mer chimeric peptide composed of TNC-A-D domain binding peptide and tLyP-1 tumor penetrating peptide52 that targets NRP-1 on tumor cells was reported to allow anti-glioma drug delivery via NRP-1- and TNC-mediated specific penetration of nanoparticles into glioma parenchyma53. This evidence concerns the gene NRP1 and neoplasm.
