Cognitive & Neuro
Research overviews of neuropeptides studied in cognition, mood, and neuroprotection models — Selank, Semax and its amidate, Dihexa, P21, and related compounds — based on the published preclinical literature.
Semax vs. N-Acetyl Semax Amidate: Understanding the Key Structural Differences
Semax and N-Acetyl Semax Amidate share a common ACTH-derived backbone yet differ in meaningful ways. Here is what preclinical research tells us about each variant and why those structural modifications matter to researchers.
Neuroprotective Peptides: An Overview of the Preclinical Research Landscape
