At its center are peptides, short chains of amino acids that serve as the building blocks of proteins but have distinct therapeutic properties of their own. These versatile compounds occupy a ...

The research group utilized artificial intelligence to sift through various prohormones — molecules that can be transformed into active peptides, or hormones, that regulate body functions.

Peptide-drug conjugates (PDCs) represent an emerging class of targeted therapeutic agents that consist of small molecular drugs coupled to multifunctional peptides through cleavable or non-cleavable ...

After earmarking a major chunk of change last year to bulk up in peptide production, European CDMO CordenPharma is putting its money where its mouth is. CordenPharma will spend half of a planned ...

Recently, Sahoo and his RU-N research team made a breakthrough, using a peptide to help nerve cells in both the peripheral and central nervous systems regenerate. They published their findings in ...

Given the vast sequence space, a combination of computational approaches and readily accessible experimental techniques is required to design peptide materials efficiently. We report here on a ...

This highlights the urgent need for novel and highly effective antimicrobial agents. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a class of naturally occurring or synthetically designed small molecules that ...

One alternative that doctors recommend is peptides. Not only are they generally gentle, but they can offer a wide variety of benefits for skin. Depending on the type of peptide(s) in your skin ...

Besides increasing energy expenditure, exercise induces the synthesis and liberation of several muscle-derived myokines and neuroendocrine peptides such as neuropeptide Y, peptide YY, ghrelin, and ...
