Researchers working with peptides pay close attention to the purity of the compound, the storage conditions of the lyophilized powder, and the accuracy of dosing. However, one factor is often overlooked: the choice of solvent for reconstitution. Yet it is the solvent that determines the sterility of the solution, the stability of the molecule, and…

For decades, mitochondria have been described in biology textbooks as the “powerhouses of the cell.” This metaphor is accurate, but incomplete. Data from the past two decades indicate that mitochondria also function as signaling hubs. These secreted peptides can interact with cells throughout the body, including tissues physically distant from the site of synthesis. Humanin…

Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death in most countries around the world. For this reason, interest in additional molecular targets in this field is naturally growing. Cardiovascular peptides are not a fringe area of the wellness industry, but a fully-fledged field of cardiovascular research with a growing body of published literature. Both endogenous…
