**A Major Drug Breakthrough Could Change How Ozempic and Wegovy Work**
By Duke University - Published on 23 October 2026
New compounds have overcome a longstanding challenge by directly targeting β-arrestins, proteins that regulate cellular signals, providing laboratory tools that could help guide more precise treatments with fewer side effects. A drug can hit its intended target and still have its effects cut short. That’s because cells have built-in molecular brakes that dial down signals [...]
