Peptide Applications

Peptide vaccines have emerged as a promising platform for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases and cancer due to their safety, manufacturability, and antigen specificity. However, their intrinsic low immunogenicity and limited efficacy in late...

Acromegaly is a chronic disease, the core feature of which is the excessive secretion of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). Over 95% of cases are caused by pituitary somatotroph adenomas. Due to the high heterogeneity of these tu...

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a highly prevalent chronic inflammatory skin disease globally, affecting 15%–30% of children and 2%–10% of adults. In the US alone, associated treatment costs exceed $5 billion annually. AD also significantly increases t...

In the field of efficacy skincare, oxidation and glycation are two fundamental drivers of skin aging. Oxidative damage disrupts cellular structures and collagen fibers, while glycation cross-links collagen, causing it to lose elasticity and leading to dull, ...

Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, projected to claim 10 million lives by 2030. Current standard therapies, predominantly chemotherapy, lack tumor specificity and often cause severe off-target toxicities, limiting clinical efficacy ...

In the first three parts of this series, we analyzed representative peptides: palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 for collagen remodeling, acetyl hexapeptide-8 for neuromodulation, and copper tripeptide for repair and fortification. This installment focuses on the depi...

Self-assembly is one of the core research directions in the field of supramolecular chemistry. Relying on non-covalent intermolecular interactions (hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonds, π-π stacking, etc.), molecules spontaneously form ordered nano...

Obesity has become a major global public health issue. It not only significantly increases the risk of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and fatty liver disease but also imposes a heavy burden on public health care. Therefo...
