What are the functions of peptides according to scientific research
Peptides are found throughout every cell and tissue in the body and are an integral part of most biologic processes. Maintenance of appropriate concentration and activity levels of peptides is necessary to achieve homeostasis and maintain health.
Scientific study: machine learning predicts peptides with immunogenic potential
The immune system keeps T cells under control by regulating precisely when they can respond to a pathogen.
Research on peptides acting on the central autophagy pathway
Autophagy, meaning “self-eating” in Greek, is a general metabolic mechanism adopted by nearly all the eukaryotic species, from the single cell yeast to humans.
Peptides vs. proteins: a scientific perspective on their differences
Proteins and peptides are fundamental components of cells that carry out important biological functions. Proteins give cells their shape, for example, and they respond to signals transmitted from the extracellular environment.
What is GHRP-2 and how does it work according to research
Growth hormone releasing peptide 2 or GHRP 2 is a synthetic analogue of GHRP 6. It is well-known for its ability to effectively improve and stimulate the production of human growth hormone.
Breakthrough in peptide drug research
The „Holy Grail“ of peptide chemistry: New strategy makes peptide active agents available orally.
Research shows that a rattlesnake venom peptide acts against resistant bacteria
With bacteria becoming ever more resistant to our best antibiotics, scientists are searching high and low for new ones in nature.
Research on a new peptide offers prospects for improved drug delivery
In the field of anticancer therapeutics, cationic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have gained prominence because of their cytotoxic and anticancer activity in drug-resistant cancer cells.
Enamel regeneration through proteins: a scientific perspective
Researchers at the University of Washington have designed a convenient and natural product that uses proteins to rebuild tooth enamel and treat dental cavities.
Peptides and weight reduction: a scientific perspective
The body prefers to use fat as fuel for activity. However, with constantly full sugar stores, it tends to use this before using the stored fat.
