The study, published on July 22 in Nature Medicine, results from an international collaboration involving GSK, Queen Mary University of London, University College London, Cambridge University, and the Berlin Institute of Health...
Credit: Depositphotos For many years, numerous essential proteins crucial for treating diverse illnesses have proven challenging to administer through oral drug therapy. Conventional small molecules often face difficulties in binding to proteins with flat surfaces or necessitate specificity for specific protein homologs. Larger biologics, which can target these proteins, usually require injection, restricting patient convenience...
