For the former, clinicians extract a patient’s cells, engineer them in a laboratory, and then infuse them back into the body. Different serotypes tend to target certain cell types, and before AAV engineering became common, this natural “tropism” determined their application.

Without the stop sign, viral transcription no longer follows the correct order, which has a negative impact on viral protein production,” says Fang. “The virus hijacks this protein and makes it do something different than its normal job in cells. “We weren’t expecting to see this,” says Fang.

While small-molecule drugs continue to play a critical role in modern medicine, we are witnessing a shift toward the increasing development of amino acid-based therapeutics. Toxic peptides and proteins, particularly from the venoms of animals, are predicted to be a major source of next-generation peptide and protein-based drugs.
