Examines pemvidutide’s dual receptor pharmacology targeting both GLP-1 and glucagon receptors, its differentiated liver-targeting profile for MASH/NASH research, and Phase 2 metabolic data.
Covers orforglipron’s unique small-molecule structure that mimics peptide GLP-1 agonism without injection, Phase 3 trial data on metabolic endpoints, and what this means for oral incretin research.
Deep dive into follistatin’s role as a myostatin inhibitor, covering the activin-binding mechanism, animal model data on muscle hypertrophy, and comparisons between FS-288, FS-300, and FS-344 isoforms.
Chemical modifications such as PEGylation, lipidation, and albumin-binding can dramatically extend peptide half-life from minutes to days. This article covers the science behind these modifications and their research implications.
Gonadorelin is a synthetic decapeptide identical to endogenous gonadotropin-releasing hormone. It serves as a fundamental research tool for assessing pituitary responsiveness and HPG axis function in laboratory models.
VIP is a 28-amino-acid neuropeptide with widespread distribution across the central and peripheral nervous systems. Research spans anti-inflammatory signaling, circadian clock regulation, and neuroprotection.
FOXO4-DRI is a cell-penetrating peptide that selectively disrupts the FOXO4-p53 interaction in senescent cells. Published research in murine models showed restoration of multiple aging phenotypes.
Kisspeptin (KISS1) is a neuropeptide that serves as the master upstream regulator of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. It has become a critical tool in reproductive endocrinology research.
LL-37 is the only human cathelicidin-derived antimicrobial peptide, with broad-spectrum activity against bacteria, viruses, and biofilms. Research explores its dual role in direct antimicrobial action and immune system modulation.
