Therapeutic proteins

Therapeutic proteins are specially designed proteins used as medicines to treat various health conditions. They are made to mimic natural proteins in our body or target specific molecules involved in disease processes. These proteins can help boost the immune system, replace or supplement missing or faulty proteins, or block harmful substances. Examples include insulin for diabetes, monoclonal antibodies for cancer and autoimmune diseases, and hormones like growth hormone. Because they are complex molecules, they are usually produced using advanced biotechnological methods in labs. Therapeutic proteins offer targeted and effective treatment options for many conditions that were difficult to manage with traditional medicines.
