Abstract
Therapeutic proteins are engineered proteins produced in the laboratory for pharmaceutical use. With the advent of recombinant DNA technology, the proteins can be generated in specific host cells under defined conditions. In the process of production of genetically engineered animals, the gene of interest can be added at a single cell stage to produce a cloned animal from genetically engineered cells. Several recombinant cytokines, clotting factors etc have been licensed and are currently being utilized for the treatment of cancer, infectious diseases, hemophilia, anemia, multiple sclerosis, and hepatitis B/C. Therapeutic proteins that are useful for human are successfully produced in poultry as well as in livestock animals. However, the fastest growing class of therapeutic proteins are antibodies especially monoclonal antibodies (mAb), the most important class of therapeutic protein with the potential to generate significant revolution in terms of clinical success rate. Here, we review the most recent clinical advances in the field of emerging and existing therapeutic proteins.

Artificial Intelligence for Protein Research
Protein research, essential for understanding biological processes and creating therapeutics, faces challenges due to the intricate nature of protein structures and functions. Traditional methods are limited in exploring the vast protein sequence space efficiently. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) offer promising solutions by improving predictions and speeding up ...read more
Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
