peptide therapeutics

Peptide therapeutics are medications made from short chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. These peptides can mimic natural hormones or other molecules in the body to help treat various conditions, such as diabetes, cancer, or autoimmune diseases. Because they are designed to be highly specific, they often have fewer side effects compared to traditional drugs. Researchers are continuously developing new peptide therapies, taking advantage of their ability to target specific biological processes and improve patient outcomes.
