If you have been following research into obesity, diabetes, GLP-1 medicines or next-generation metabolic peptides, you may increasingly encounter the word amylin. But what is amylin? Amylin is a naturally occurring 37-amino-acid peptide hormone produced primarily by pancreatic beta cells. It is stored and released alongside insulin after food intake and helps coordinate several processes […]
If you have been reading about metabolism, weight management, hormones, skin science, recovery, diabetes or modern drug development, you have probably encountered the word peptides. But what do peptides do? There is no single answer because peptides are not one substance with one function. Peptides are chains of amino acids that can act as biological […]
Peptide research in 2026 is moving far beyond the idea of peptides as simply short chains of amino acids. Today, scientists are engineering peptides to target specific receptors, developing multi-receptor metabolic compounds, using artificial intelligence to design new peptide sequences, investigating peptide-drug conjugates for cancer, developing cell-penetrating peptides for intracellular delivery and trying to overcome […]
