The science behind the potential

These articles trace each molecule’s origins, explain its mechanisms and present findings from scientific publications. Links lead to original research and historical sources. Conversations with Dr. Abud Bakri on Huberman Lab, Julian Dorey, Santa Cruz Medicinals and the episode on peptides, sunlight and the thymus add complementary perspectives.

Our interest is in the progress of peptide biotechnology and the research questions it opens. Each finding retains the compound, model and population in which it was studied. Explanations of its relevance are editorial interpretation.
