Understanding peptide and neuroendocrine signalling in sexual function Sexual function involves a complex interaction between the central nervous system, reproductive hormones, vascular function and neuroendocrine signalling. Research into peptides and related signalling molecules is investigating pathways involved in: The evidence varies considerably between compounds. Some have been investigated in controlled human studies, while others remain […]
Understanding how the body produces and uses energy Peptides and growth factors are biological signalling molecules that can influence how cells obtain, store and use energy. Research is investigating how specific molecules interact with pathways involved in glucose utilisation, insulin signalling, mitochondrial function, fatty-acid metabolism, energy expenditure, appetite regulation and cellular energy homeostasis. Energy metabolism […]
Understanding Peptides, Growth Factors & Cellular Signalling in Tissue Repair Peptides and growth factors are biological signalling molecules that can influence cellular behaviour, tissue maintenance and repair. Research is investigating how specific molecules interact with pathways involved in cellular survival, proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, inflammation, extracellular-matrix remodelling and tissue regeneration. Research into cellular repair and recovery […]
Understanding Peptides in Skin Health & Follicular Biology Peptides are short chains of amino acids that can act as biological signalling molecules. Research is investigating how specific peptides interact with pathways involved in collagen synthesis, extracellular-matrix remodelling, inflammation, tissue repair and hair-follicle activity. Research explores pathways relevant to: GHK-Cu — Collagen & Extracellular-Matrix Signalling GHK-Cu […]
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that can be sensitive to environmental conditions. Proper storage and handling are important in research settings because exposure to heat, moisture, oxygen, and light can affect a peptide’s integrity over time. Understanding the factors that influence stability helps researchers preserve sample quality and improve experimental consistency. What Affects […]
A Beginner’s Guide to Understanding Their Role in Science Published: 6 August 2026Reading time: 8 minutes Introduction Peptides are an important part of biology and biomedical research, yet many people are unfamiliar with what they actually are. Whether you’re reading about new scientific discoveries, biotechnology, or pharmaceutical development, peptides are frequently mentioned because of their […]
