Discover how Collagen Hybridizing Peptides (CHPs) transform the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases by accurately identifying and targeting damaged arterial collagen. Learn about this innovative technology and its impact on improving patient outcomes.

Collagen Hybridizing Peptides (CHPs) revolutionize liver fibrosis detection by halving biopsy analysis time. Explore detailed insights into collagen remodeling and deposition, which is directly linked to fibrotic activity.

Biliary Atresia (BA) is a severe liver disease in infants, often leading to cirrhosis and death. Collagen Hybridizing Peptides (CHP) offer diagnostic and prognostic insights, aiding treatment decisions and organ transplant allocation.

Explore more about the impact of obesity-related pre-diabetic hyperglycemia on bone healing using the DIO mouse model. CHPs help reveal that deficits in collagen microstructure leads to impaired fracture healing in obese subjects.

In a recently accepted article published in Bioconjugate Chemistry, researchers from the University of Utah used CHPs in an antibody-conjugate to address Rheumatoid Arthritis(RA). In this paper, the authors used the Fab region from infliximab (an anti-TNFα therapy known as Remicade®) and conjugated this with CHPs.

Another great paper using CHPs! A recent article published in Wound Repair and Regeneration evaluated how the level of collagen denaturation within burned tissues influences the effectiveness of enzymatic debridement (removal of damaged tissue). They showed that low-temperature burns (<65 °C) had inadequate debridement, while high-temperature burns (>65 °C) had very effective debridement. By...

Learn more about how by utilizing CHPs, researchers studied post-IR pig heart damage. They found initial function decline, stable conditions later, and identified scar formation, corroborating Masson's Trichrome staining. No cardiomyocyte renewal observed.
