Use of a novel conjugation approach to generate a long-acting growth hormone receptor antagonist

University of Auckland Liggins Institute

Targeting the growth hormone (GH) signalling pathway could be an effective therapeutic approach for certain types of cancer. However, a lack of access to therapeutics that target GH or the GH receptor has hindered preclinical studies in this field. Read more
