Development of an orally delivered GLP-1 receptor agonist through peptide engineering and drug delivery to treat chronic disease

Abstract Peptide therapeutics are increasingly used in the treatment of disease, but their administration by injection reduces patient compliance and convenience, especially for chronic diseases. Thus, oral administration of a peptide therapeutic represents a significant advance in medicine, but is...
