A team of researchers from Kyushu University has created a novel antibody that targets and inhibits the malfunction of the protein hepatocyte growth factor, or HGF, which is essential for developing, regenerating, and repairing skeletal muscle.
Antibody Therapy
This new study offers a broadly useful technique to improve nanobodies’ performance. Artificially created antibody fragments, known as nanobodies, are around 10 times smaller than regular antibodies.
