Protein drugs are widely used as pharmaceutical agents to treat a range of disorders. However, most of these drugs are not very stable and are only retained in the blood circulation for a limited period, which minimizes their efficacy. To resolve these concerns, researchers at Japan’s Kumamoto University have developed a new material that binds successfully to protein drugs and prolongs the duration of their effect without impairing their activity, thereby improving overall drug performance.
