摘要
From killers to curers: Peptides from cone snail venoms are potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of neuropathic pain. Unfortunately, these peptides suffer from the disadvantage of short biological half-lives and poor activity when taken orally. A new orally active conotoxin was developed to solve these problems.© 2010 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
