Antibiotic resistance is escalating into a global crisis. The WHO warns drug‑resistant infections could cause 10 million deaths annually by 2050. In this urgent context, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are being studied as next‑generation therapeutics that could complement or even replace traditional antibiotics. What Makes AMPs Different ...
LOS ANGELES — Global pop icon, fashion mogul, and Fenty Beauty founder Rihanna is expanding her skincare lineup with a focus on target-driven peptide formulations. She’s joining the path of Beyonce and Serena Williams, leveraging high-performance anti-aging and skin-restorative ingredients, Fenty Skin’s targeted peptide offerings—such as ...
Biologists at the University of Oregon have reached deep into evolutionary history to resurrect prehistoric proteins that may hold promise against modern drug‑resistant bacteria. Their findings, published in PLOS Biology under the title “Retracing the origin and evolution of a cryptic antimicrobial peptide within mammalian lactoferrin”, ...
A new analysis from DelveInsight highlights growing momentum in the clinical trial pipeline for multiple system atrophy (MSA), a rare and rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disorder.

A shift in the online wellness and biohacking landscape has created a rapidly growing industry: the crypto-fueled gray market for research peptides. driven by skyrocketing demand for GLP-1 analogues, growth hormone secretagogues, and recovery compounds, transaction volume processed via cryptocurrency has crossed a $100 million annual ...
Scientists have developed a new chemical strategy that allows peptides to fluoresce only when activated, offering a way to observe biological processes without washing away excess dye during experiments. The study, published in Nature Chemistry, introduces a general method for building multicolour “fluorogenic amino acids” (FgAAs) ...
Health experts are warning that synthetic peptides, increasingly popular for weight loss, fitness recovery, and sleep improvement, are being widely used despite limited scientific evidence in many cases. The discussion comes as peptides continue to grow in popularity on social media and in fitness communities, where ...
Health safety experts have raised concerns after a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory committee supported adding six of seven peptide substances to a list that would allow wider compounding in pharmacies.
