New drug development using Nature’s strategies

Oxytocin/vasopressin receptors are typical examples of so-called G protein-coupled receptors – the most successful drug target class. The oxytocin and vasopressin receptors are targeted, for example, during childbirth to encourage contractions but are also being investigated for therapeutic applications in cardiovascular disease, cancer, and developmental disorders such as autism. Inspired by locusts MedUni Vienna researchers […]
