Shark-derived VNAR molecules show promise for advanced antibody therapies

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Scientists are exploring the potential of tiny VNAR molecules derived from sharks for developing next-generation antibody therapies. These shark-derived molecules are noted for their exceptional stability and ability to access hard-to-reach molecular sites. Researchers are investigating their application in treating various conditions, including cancer, and for use in diagnostics and drug delivery, particularly across the blood-brain barrier. AI
