Abstract: The present disclosure provides conjugates of polypeptides comprising nanobody and FGF21 linked by a polypeptide linker. The present disclosure further provides conjugates of polypeptides comprising GLP-1, nanobody, and FGF21 linked by two polypeptide linkers respectively. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same and methods of treating diseases are also provided.

Abstract: A nano small peptide FH and its use in preparation of drugs for treating and preventing fundus vascular diseases are provided. The artificially synthesized nano small peptide has a molecular formula of X-FFVLK-KQKRPRH (SEQ ID NO: 1), wherein the X is dodecanoyl, tetradecanoyl, hexadecanoyl, or octadecanoyl. The nano small peptide of the present invention can specifically select receptors to encapsulate sSema4D protein, and the concentration of sSema4D is effectively reduced, so that the sSema4D is unable to bind to any receptors, thus changing the shortcoming of few inhibitory targets of antibody drugs. The nano small peptide molecule with a simple structure can be mixed with antibody drugs without causing mutual immune reactions, so as to achieve the effect of reducing multiple pro-angiogenesis molecules.

Abstract: Provided herein are compositions comprising caveolin-1 (Cav-1) peptides. Further provided are methods of using the Cav-1 peptides for the treatment of lung infections or acute or chronic lung injury, particularly lung fibrosis.

Abstract: The present invention provides a formulation capable of treating cramp and/or spasm in a subject, or reducing frequency of cramp and/or spasm in a subject, wherein the formulation comprises a dipeptide composition containing one or more imidazole-containing dipeptides, a turmeric product containing curcumin, and ancient peat minerals.

Abstract: [Problem] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a novel technique associated with anti-obesity improvement. [Solution] The present invention relates to an anti-obesity agent comprising lactononadecapeptide (LNDP, Asn-Ile-Pro-Pro-Leu-Thr-Gln-Thr-Pro-Val-Val-Val-Pro-Pro-Phe-Leu-Gln-Pro-Glu) or a salt thereof. The present invention also relates to a pollakiuria improving agent and an autonomic nerve activity regulator each comprising LNDP.

Abstract: Antimicrobial peptides and methods of use are provided.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of plecanatide. Specifically, an improved process for preparation of plecanatide using a non-linear solid phase peptide synthesis. In particular, the process for preparation of plecanatide involves solid phase synthesis of peptide fragments of five amino acid units using 2-chlorotrityl chloride (2-ClTrt) resin and eleven amino acid unit using Wang resin.

Abstract: SIRPalpha-4-1BBL variant fusion proteins are provided. Also provided are isolated polypeptides comprising a SIRPalpha variant. Also provided are polynucleotides and nucleic acid constructs encoding the SIRPalpha-41BBL fusion protein or the isolated polypeptide, host-cells expressing same and methods of use thereof.
