Abstract
Radiolabelled peptides have shown to be an important class of radiopharmaceuticals for imaging and therapy of malignancies expressing receptors of regulatory peptides. These peptides have high affinity and specificity for their receptors. The majority of these receptors are present at different levels in different tissues and tumours. This review focuses on the application of regulatory peptides radiolabelled with 67/68Ga , 90Y, 111In or 177Lu. Due attention is given to the current status of research, limitations and future perspectives of the application of these radiolabelled peptides for imaging and radiotherapy. It also covers elements of the basic science and preclinical and clinical aspects in general, however, mostly based on somatostatin receptor-mediated imaging and therapy. New analogues, chelators, radionuclides and combinations thereof are discussed.

Induction of cell death in cancer cells by modulating telomerase activity using small molecule drugs
Telomeres are distinctive but short stretches present at the corners of chromosomes and aid in stabilizing chromosomal makeup. Resynthesis of telomeres supported by the activity of reverse transcriptase ribonucleoprotein complex telomerase. There is no any telomerase activity in human somatic cells, but the stem cells and germ cells undergone telomerase ...read more
