Because of their wide variety of biological effects, bioactive peptides (BAPs) have recently attracted a lot of attention. BAPs have been observed to be safe, thanks to their widely acknowledged safety status by the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA). This has led to their widespread use in various industries, such as food and nutrition, pharmaceuticals, and therapeutics. A considerable amount of research has been devoted to developing cutting‐edge nanomaterials derived from BAPs, which have been utilized in a wide range of industries. In the realm of scientific research, the remarkable ability of BAPs to self‐assemble has been harnessed to develop a wide range of nanoassemblies. These nanoassemblies hold immense potential for the advancement of biomaterials in the future. Research interest continues to focus on the study of the detection of BAPs using artificial intelligence (AI). Over the past few years, there has been a surge of interest in utilizing bio‐inspired strategies to explore new possibilities in the development of advanced energy devices and storage solutions. However, these strategies require scientific attention. This extensive review offers a broad perspective on the applications of BAPs in nanotechnology as well as pharmaceuticals and therapeutics. Moreover, in silico analysis of BAPs, coupled with ‐omics techniques, has been discussed. In the bargain, the next‐generation approaches in BAP research comprising BAP‐based energy devices, as well as BAPs in AI, have been catalogued. There is a considerable emphasis on developing more eco‐friendly energy‐storage technologies that draw inspiration from nature and use BAPs.

The use of nanotechnology has the potential to revolutionize the detection and treatment of cancer. Developments in protein engineering and materials science have led to the emergence of new nanoscale targeting techniques, which offer renewed hope for cancer patients. While several nanocarriers for medicinal purposes have been approved for human trials, only a few have been authorized for clinical use in targeting cancer cells. In this review, we analyze some of the authorized formulations and discuss the challenges of translating findings from the lab to the clinic. This study highlights the various nanocarriers and compounds that can be used for selective tumor targeting and the inherent difficulties in cancer therapy. Nanotechnology provides a promising platform for improving cancer detection and treatment in the future, but further research is needed to overcome the current limitations in clinical translation.
