Therapeutic potential of peptides
Currently there are more than 80 peptide drugs on the global market and about twice as many in clinical development. Due to their beneficial properties, these biomolecules play already an important role in the treatment of diseases such as diabetes, cancer, hormone disorders, HIV infection, and multiple sclerosis. In the recent issue of “Nature Reviews Drug Discovery”, a team of Austrian and Australian scientists led by medicinal chemist Markus Muttenthaler of the University of Vienna present an outlook on the latest trends in peptide drug discovery and development.
“Insulin is a prime example for a successful peptide drug that has been essential for the health of millions of diabetic patients in the past 100 years,” says Markus Muttenthaler, who leads research groups at the Institute of Biological Chemistry of the Faculty of Chemistry at University in Vienna as well as at the Institute for Molecular Bioscience, at the University
The publication highlighted an unsealed FBI search warrant that it obtained, which revealed Bradenburg s far-out beliefs, including that the Earth is flat. Elsewhere, the report highlighted one co-worker who told investigators that Brandenburg believed the microchipped vaccine was designed to turn off people s birth control and make others infertile.
Brandenburg who reportedly maintained that Judgment Day is coming also allegedly carried a 0.45-caliber handgun to work in case the military came to detain him.

2020 has been a lousy year. Time magazine’s cover story declared it the “worst year ever” (or at least “in living memory for most Americans”). And it is finishing on a miserable note, with coronavirus deaths reaching horrifying new heights worse than a 9/11 every single day while public health experts beg us to celebrate the winter holidays alone.
But 2020 wasn’t all bad news. In fact, I’ll go further than that: 2020 had good news that would stand out as astonishing triumphs of human achievement in any
other year. In areas ranging from public health to medicine, from poverty alleviation to food technology, there were some tremendous leaps. To highlight them as I’d like to do here isn’t to deny the misery and grief that were visited upon so many around the world in 2020. Rather, it’s to remind us that there’s so much to fight for, and to honor the work of the many people who, under adverse conditions in an extraor
