University of Birmingham researchers discover promising natural peptide, PEPITEM, for osteoporosis and bone loss treatments.

University of Birmingham researchers have discovered a promising natural peptide, PEPITEM, for osteoporosis and bone loss treatments, with potential benefits over current medications. PEPITEM (Peptide Inhibitor of Trans-Endothelial Migration) has shown to enhance bone mineralization, formation, and strength, as well as reverse bone loss in animal models. The study, funded by the Medical Research Council and the Lorna and Yuti Chernajovsky Biomedical Research Foundation, was published in Cell Reports Medicine.
