Most patients die within 10 to 20 years after symptoms first appear. The new treatment leverages peptide-brush polymers, which act as a shield to prevent proteins from binding to one another.

The new treatment leverages peptide-brush polymers, which act as a shield to prevent proteins from binding to one another. In studies in mice the treatment successfully rescued neurons to reverse ...

The researchers devised a system of oppositely charged polymer tracks and cargo-carrying ... and the sliders were coenzyme A or short peptides containing one, three, or five glutamic acids.

The protein-like polymer, or PLP, platform is made from a polymer that mimics Nrf2. Once injected intravenously, it finds KEAP1 and binds to it, preventing it from binding to the actual Nrf2 ...

Labeled proteins are captured using resins containing immobilized Rho 1D4 monoclonal antibody, which binds to the peptide sequence. The poly-peptide (repeat) affinity tags poly-Arg and poly-His ...

New polymer detection method to turn the (pep)tide in the fight against water pollution Date: November 11, 2021 Source: Tokyo Institute of Technology Summary: A peptide sensor to detect water ...

Scientists at Northwestern University and Case Western Reserve University have developed the first polymer-based therapy for Huntington’s disease. Published in Science Advances, the novel molecule ...

A polymer has been developed to optimize the use of a peptide to treat Huntington’s disease in mice. Huntington’s disease is a devastating condition with no cure or treatments to slow its progression.

The protein-like polymer, or PLP, platform is made from a polymer that mimics Nrf2. Once injected intravenously, it finds KEAP1 and binds to it, preventing it from binding to the actual Nrf2 ...
