Introduction
Current Treatment Challenges
Why CHPs?

Resarchers discover how CHPs vividly display collagen turnover during cancer development.

Studying the destruction of bone collagen and increased fibrosis in Multiple Myeloma is crucial for researchers as it provides insights into disease mechanisms, helps identify new therapeutic targets, and aids in developing treatments to mitigate bone damage and organ fibrosis. Collagen Hybridizing Peptides can aid researchers in quantifying osteolytic lesions resulting from Multiple Myeloma and monitoring fibrotic activity throughout the body. By using CHPs, researchers can gain precise, real-time data on collagen changes, improving their understanding of MM pathology and enhancing their ability to monitor treatment efficacy, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes.

Collagen Hybridizing Peptides open the door for similar research in other cancer types:

Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS)
Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS)
Myeloproliferative Disorder (MPD)
And more

If you don't see the specific condition you're studying, it may be because we have yet to validate it; however, we are confident that Collagen Hybridizing Peptides will be effective in other osteologic conditions.

We highly recommend using our In Vivo CHPs to investigate these conditions

Understanding Multiple Myeloma

Understanding Multiple Myeloma

Multiple Myeloma(MM) is a neoplastic plasma-cell disorder characterized by malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow. These plasma cells develop from genetic and microenvironmental changes. MM is the second most common hematologic malignancy worldwide, with about 100,000 incidences annually. As an active disease, patients develop several pathological conditions and organ damage such as hypercalcemia, lytic bone lesions, anemia, renal insufficiency, and hyper-viscosity.

Current Treatment Challenges

Treatment options have incorporated novel drugs in therapeutic backbones, however many factors such as drug resistance, age, and side effects from medicine make MM treatment complex. The current standard of care includes local and systemic therapies. Unfortunately, most MM patients are elderly and with comorbidities, which precludes aggressive therapies.

By leveraging our Collagen Hybridizing Peptides, 3Helix allows for a deeper understanding of the collagen turnover apparent during cancer development – essential in monitoring MM’s progression. Our innovations are paving the path to new perspectives on Multiple Myeloma, offering hope to the thousands affected.
