Science-backed insights on regenerative medicine, longevity, and the therapies reshaping how we think about repair, recovery, and the biology of aging.
Retatrutide is a triple-hormone receptor agonist (GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon) studied for obesity, type 2 diabetes, and liver fat. Phase 2 trials showed about 24% average weight loss, and large phase 3 trials are now underway.
Read Article PeptidesPT-141 (bremelanotide) is a melanocortin agonist that works through the brain rather than blood flow. It is FDA-approved as Vyleesi for low sexual desire in premenopausal women and is now being studied for weight management.
Read Article PeptidesBPC-157 is a synthetic peptide derived from gastric juice, studied for tendon, ligament, and gut healing. Most of the evidence so far is from animal models, with the first human trials now beginning.
Read Article PeptidesTB-500 is a synthetic fragment of thymosin beta-4, a natural tissue-repair protein. Research points to roles in healing, recovery, and flexibility, so far mainly in preclinical models.
Read Article NeurologicalNVG-291 is a peptide designed to release a natural brake on nerve regrowth by targeting the PTP-sigma receptor. The early evidence is preclinical, with human trials now beginning.
Read Article PeptidesARA-290 (cibinetide) is an erythropoietin-derived peptide that activates the body's innate repair pathway without raising red blood cell counts. It has been tested in randomized human trials for small fiber neuropathy.
Read Article NeurologicalCerebrolysin is a neuropeptide preparation studied for stroke recovery, traumatic brain injury, and vascular dementia, with decades of clinical trials and meta-analyses behind it.
Read Article LongevitySS-31 (elamipretide) is a peptide that targets cardiolipin in the mitochondria to support cellular energy. It has been tested in human trials, including phase 3, for mitochondrial disease and heart failure.
Read Article PeptidesVIP (vasoactive intestinal peptide) is a peptide the body makes naturally, with broad anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating effects studied in conditions including lung disease.
Read Article PeptidesGHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper peptide that declines with age, studied for skin regeneration, wound healing, and tissue repair.
Read Article PeptidesKPV is a small three-amino-acid fragment of alpha-MSH studied for its anti-inflammatory effects, especially in the gut. The mechanism is well described, with human data still early.
Read Article NeurologicalSemax is an ACTH-derived neuropeptide studied for stroke recovery and cognition, with much of its clinical research base in Russia.
Read Article PeptidesSelank is a tuftsin-derived peptide studied for anxiety, including trials comparing it head-to-head with benzodiazepines, much of the research from Russia.
Read Article PeptidesDSIP (delta sleep-inducing peptide) is a naturally occurring neuropeptide tied to deep sleep, studied in early controlled trials for insomnia.
Read Article PeptidesCJC-1295 is a long-acting GHRH analog studied for its ability to raise the body's own growth hormone and IGF-1 for days at a time.
Read Article PeptidesIpamorelin is a selective growth hormone secretagogue studied for prompting the body's own growth hormone, including research on gut recovery after surgery.
Read Article PeptidesTesamorelin is a GHRH analog FDA-approved for HIV-associated visceral fat, with randomized-trial evidence for reducing liver fat and emerging research in muscle and cognition.
Read Article LongevityHuman growth hormone is a tightly regulated prescription hormone. This article covers what the research supports, why diagnosis matters, and how it is used responsibly under physician care, not as an anti-aging shortcut.
Read Article LongevityNAD+ is a coenzyme central to cellular energy and repair that declines with age. We look at what human research shows on supporting metabolism and healthy aging.
Read Article Stem CellsMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) work mainly as signaling and immune-modulating cells. They are among the most studied cells in regenerative medicine, with trials across osteoarthritis and immune disease.
Read Article Stem CellsUmbilical cord-derived MSCs are immune-modulating stem cells from donated cord tissue, studied across inflammatory and immune-driven conditions.
Read Article Stem CellsMUSE cells are a stress-tolerant subset of stem cells with natural repair and homing ability, studied for stroke and heart repair.
Read Article Stem CellsMUSE and MSC exosomes carry the repair signals of stem cells without the cells themselves, an emerging cell-free approach to regenerative therapy.
Read Article LongevityCord blood plasma and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) sit at the intersection of young-blood biology and immune regulation, an early and actively studied area of regenerative research.
Read Article MetabolicLow-dose naltrexone (LDN) is an off-label use of an approved drug, studied for fibromyalgia and chronic pain through its effects on inflammation and pain signaling.
