PEPTIDES
Hormone Regulation
Example: Insulin, a peptide hormone, is vital for treating diabetes.
Peptide-based drugs can mimic hormones to regulate metabolism, growth, and more.
Wound Healing and Tissue Repair
Certain peptides stimulate collagen production, boost skin repair, or reduce inflammation.
Anti-Aging and Aesthetic Treatments
Used in cosmeceuticals for firming skin, improving elasticity, and reducing wrinkles.
Popular in dermatology and regenerative medicine.
Immune Modulation
Some peptides help stimulate or suppress immune responses, useful in autoimmune diseases or cancer.
Cancer Therapy
Peptides can be used to target tumor cells for treatment or imaging.
Weight Loss and Muscle Growth
Peptides like CJC-1295 or BPC-157 are popular in hormone therapy and performance enhancement (often controversially).
Diagnostics
Peptides are used in biomarker discovery, helping to identify diseases early through blood tests.
