The Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) is a space-based particle detector operating onboard China's Space Station since December 17th 2015. The main scientic objectives are to search for possible Dark Matter signatures in the cosmic electron and gamma-ray spectra, to directly measure the flux and composition of cosmic protons and heavier nuclei up to hundreds of TeV and to perform high energy gamma-ray astronomy. In this talk, I will present the DAMPE latest results focusing on the precise measurements of the galactic cosmic ray fluxes which are of particular interest for studying the mechanisms of acceleration and propagation in our Galaxy. An overview of the cosmic ray spectra analyses will be given, discussing new spectral features that have been revealed in the all-electron, proton and helium spectra as well as in the boron-to-carbon and boron-to-oxygen ratios.
