PEPTIDES

  1. Hormone Regulation

    • Example: Insulin, a peptide hormone, is vital for treating diabetes.

    • Peptide-based drugs can mimic hormones to regulate metabolism, growth, and more.

  2. Wound Healing and Tissue Repair

    • Certain peptides stimulate collagen production, boost skin repair, or reduce inflammation.

  3. Anti-Aging and Aesthetic Treatments

    • Used in cosmeceuticals for firming skin, improving elasticity, and reducing wrinkles.

    • Popular in dermatology and regenerative medicine.

  4. Immune Modulation

    • Some peptides help stimulate or suppress immune responses, useful in autoimmune diseases or cancer.

  5. Cancer Therapy

    • Peptides can be used to target tumor cells for treatment or imaging.

  6. Weight Loss and Muscle Growth

    • Peptides like CJC-1295 or BPC-157 are popular in hormone therapy and performance enhancement (often controversially).

  7. Diagnostics

    • Peptides are used in biomarker discovery, helping to identify diseases early through blood tests.
