What Are the Functions of Peptides?
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 Continue reading

When we eat carbs/sugars: Your blood sugar level increases The pancreas senses the rise in blood sugar and releases insulin This insulin triggers the transport of glucose into cells, especially Continue reading
A team of scientists in St Petersburg has developed a new style of the drug from the organs of newborn calves which, they claim, slows down the human ageing process Continue reading
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. It is a process that cells Continue reading
A technology has been developed for manufacturing of biologically active complex peptide preparations from extracts of different tissues. In particular, the pineal preparation (Epithalamin) augments the in vitro outgrowth of Continue reading
Ghrelin: a new therapeutic target for Parkinson’s?
Researchers at the University of Washington have designed a convenient and natural product that uses proteins to rebuild tooth enamel and treat dental cavities. The research finding was first published Continue reading
What is a peptide? Peptides (proteins) are present in every living cell and possess a variety of biochemical activities. Some peptides are synthesized in the ribosomes of a cell by Continue reading
GHRH (Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone) + GHRP (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide) = 10 star GH Release (**********) GHRP (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide aka Ghrelin-mimetic) = 3 star GH Release (***) Continue reading
Highlights •A modified FOXO4-p53 interfering peptide causes p53 nuclear exclusion in senescent cells •This FOXO4 peptide induces targeted apoptosis of senescent cells (TASC) •TASC neutralizes murine liver chemotoxicity from doxorubicin Continue reading
Peptides developed by Michigan researchers could lead to a targeted therapy for half of all prostate cancer patients. University of Michigan researchers have identified a large molecule that selectively attacks Continue reading
A new approach to treating grass allergies offers potential as a shorter and more effective alternative to traditional allergy shots, according to a recent study led by Queen’s researcher Dr. Continue reading
Protein peptides profile peptides are short polymers of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. They have the same peptide bonds as those in proteins, but are commonly shorter in length. Continue reading
What are peptides ? Peptides are small proteins. Peptides and proteins differ only in their length: Proteins >100 amino acids Peptides 2-100 amino acids Peptides and proteins are macromolecules, i.e. Continue reading
Manufacturing small proteins known as peptides is usually very time-consuming, which has slowed development of new peptide drugs for diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and bacterial infections. To help speed Continue reading
