Now, with peptides, we can address the package to specific destinations with shared features, like every house with a red mailbox." Crossing the BBB is difficult because the structure has evolved ...

Peptides vs. Antibodies Until now, most research on targeting specific organs with LNPs has focused on combining them with antibodies, large proteins that function like biological nametags.

Introduction of Snapin–CT and peptides containing the SNAP–25 binding sequence into presynaptic superior cervical ganglion neurons in culture reversibly inhibited synaptic transmission.

A velvet ant sting is like “hot oil spilling over your hand” – now, scientists have identified molecules in its venom that ...

a key component in healthy neuron synaptic function. Injection of the peptide seems to prevent this interaction with dynamin, which then leads to the reversal of Alzheimer’s disease symptoms in ...
