New Hope for Diabetes - Novel Peptide that Gives a Second Hit on the Insulin Receptor
■Technology Introduction
Based on the concept of target therapy, we select insulin receptor as a target and identify the novel insulin receptor-targeting peptides from traditional Chinese medicinal herbs. The solid biochemical and structural biology data have shown that this is the first unique peptide that targets the insulin receptor, gives a second hit on insulin receptor, and effectively overcomes insulin resistance. ■Scientific Innovation This system breaks through the difficulty of collecting PM2.5 particles into liquid samples by using the semi-dry electrostatic precipitator. It has lower instrument detection limits and higher accuracy for precursor gas monitoring than other commercial systems. ■This technology won the Futuretech Breakthrough Award in 2018 Future Tech Expo. ■Institutes China Medical University Tin-Yun Ho / tyh@mail.cmu.edu.tw |
