Structure-Based Design of Peptides Targeting VEGF/VEGFRs

Pharmaceuticals, 2023
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors (VEGFRs) play a main role in the regulation of angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis. Furthermore, they are implicated in the onset of several diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, degenerative ...

Proinsulin Secretion Is a Persistent Feature of Type 1 Diabetes [PDF]

, 2019
OBJECTIVE: Abnormally elevated proinsulin secretion has been reported in type 2 and early type 1 diabetes when significant C-peptide is present. We questioned whether individuals with long-standing type 1 diabetes and low or absent C-peptide secretory

Exploring Protein-Protein Interactions as Drug Targets for Anti-cancer Therapy with In Silico Workflows [PDF]

, 2017
We describe a computational protocol to aid the design of small molecule and peptide drugs that target protein-protein interactions, particularly for anti-cancer therapy. To achieve this goal, we explore multiple strategies, including finding binding hot
