Peptide research, explained by area
A clear, well-sourced reference layer on research peptides, organised by research area, with molecular facts and references. For research purposes only.
Other research areas
Tissue & repair processes
Researchers study how cells move, divide and work together in tissue. This is done in the lab, in cell and tissue models. BPC-157 and TB-500 are often studied together.
Explore this areaMetabolism
Researchers study how cells take in, store and use energy. This is done in the lab, in cell and animal models. With GLP-3 (RT) they look at receptors: the receivers on a cell that pick up signals.
Explore this areaGrowth hormone
Researchers study the signals that control the release of growth hormone. In the lab they compare how strongly a compound binds to a receptor and how long it stays measurable. Examples are CJC-1295, Sermorelin and Ipamorelin.
Explore this areaBrain & nerves
Researchers study how nerve cells pass signals to each other. Selank and Semax resemble peptides the body makes itself. Pinealon, VIP and DSIP are studied in other lab models.
Explore this areaSkin & pigment
Researchers study skin cells and pigment, the substance that gives skin its colour. GHK-Cu is a peptide with copper, studied in cell models in relation to collagen (a building block of skin). MT-1 and SNAP-8 are studied in other cell models.
Explore this areaCell energy
Researchers study mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cell. MOTS-c and SS-31 are peptides from this research. NAD+ and Epithalon are also studied in cell models.
