Sermorelin, a synthetic analog of growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH 1–29), has long attracted scientific interest due to ...

A peptide hormone produced in the brain that triggers physiological changes in reproduction has been 'hacked' to create an effective, safe and non-invasive way to treat chronic gut pain. Scientists ...

Peptides are smaller versions of proteins. They may provide pro-aging support, anti-inflammatory, or muscle-building properties. However, more research is still necessary to understand their risks and ...

Researchers have developed a new class of oral painkillers to suppress chronic abdominal pain that is based on the peptide hormone oxytocin that drives childbirth contractions. University of ...

Machinery inside cells can add sugar molecules to proteins and peptides to change their function and properties. So far, researchers have found sites of O-glycosylation—in which a sugar gets attached ...

Peptides are everywhere; they’re unavoidable. Insulin is a peptide. So are GLP-1s—the Ozempics and Mounjaros of the world.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), characterized by an accumulation of beta-amyloid protein in brain tissue, is a leading cause of dementia. Researchers now show that an oxytocin derivative with modifications ...

After age 30, muscle loss begins, and by 40, the effects accelerate. This process, known as sarcopenia, results in a loss of 3% to 5% of muscle mass every decade without intervention. By the time men ...
