Peptide signals have coordinated the immune system since its evolutionary origin. Cytokines, defensins, and thymic peptides are endogenous peptides that the body uses to regulate the immune response. It makes sense that researchers have turned to synthetic and recombinant analogs of these compounds: if the system already speaks the language of peptides, influencing it through…

Joint health lies at the intersection of two active areas of peptide research. The first focuses on tissue repair peptides that act through receptor-mediated and angiogenic mechanisms. The second focuses on collagen derivatives that directly support the cartilage matrix. Both approaches examine the same clinical problem from different molecular angles. Peptides for joints, as a…

The skin is not merely a mechanical barrier. The dermis and epidermis express a high density of peptide receptors, and the accessibility of the skin as an organ makes it an attractive target for studying both topical and systemic delivery routes for peptide compounds. This is precisely why peptides for skin have emerged as one…
