The addition of Khavinson peptides to cell cultures induced a tissue-specific protein stimulation in the cell of the particular organ, from which these peptides were obtained. This effect of increased protein synthesis by Khavinson peptides was observed in both young and old animals. It has been found that small peptides stimulate the expression of differentiation […]

Researches revealed that small labeled peptides enter the cytoplasm, nucleus, and nucleolus of the HeLa cells (a type of immortal cell used for scientific studies). It is known that a eukaryotic cell’s nucleus has a system of holes called nucleopores. These pores consist of protein complexes called nucleoporins, and their inner diameter is about 50 […]

We explore Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide and How it Relates to Aging Welcome to part two of a two-part series exploring NAD+ biology; you can find part one here. There are already a myriad of excellent reviews on NAD+ biology in general [1-3], so, in this article, we will be mainly focusing on the NAD+ precursor nicotinamide […]

We explore Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide and how it relates to aging. This is part one of a two-part article where we take a look at NAD+ biology, its history, how it relates to the biology of aging, and the potential for therapeutic interventions via the so-called NAD+ precursors. What is NAD+? Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) […]

Found in chamomile, this flavonoid has traditional uses that can be biochemically explained. This active ingredient in chamomile tea has traditionally been used to ease anxiety and reduce stress. We investigate if the scientific studies support this traditional use and how it relates to aging. What is apigenin? Apigenin is a very common and widely […]

We take a look at the supplement Alpha-lipoic acid Alpha-lipoic acid (also known as ALA) is a common supplement, and we take a look at it in the context of aging. What is alpha-lipoic acid? Alpha-lipoic acid is an organosulfur (an organic compound that contains sulfur) derived from caprylic acid (also known as octanoic acid). […]

AKG has attracted attention recently and may help slow down aging. Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) has long been a popular sports supplement and is often used in the bodybuilding world, but interest in this molecule has now reached the aging research field due to its central role in metabolism. What is alpha-ketoglutarate? AKG is a naturally occurring […]

Epithalamin According to a randomized comparative study that lasted 15 years in elderly people with premature aging of the cardiovascular system, it was found that application of Khavinson peptide supplement known as “Epithalamin” slows down the progression of aging and reduces the mortality rate. By the end of this experiment, 16 of 40 (40%) patients […]

The process of aging is predetermined evolutionary. According to UN statistics, the number of older adults is constantly rising worldwide. It is valid for both absolute numbers and percentage-wise. This process would undoubtedly create challenges related to public health and social welfare. In terms of evolution, the global aging of the population necessitates the need […]

Nowadays, people talk a lot about copper peptides as a beauty trend. But what are these peptides, and how do they work? People gradually lose collagen and elastin needed to keep the skin smooth and firm in a normal aging process. In addition, some habits, including smoking and overexposure to the sun, may speed up […]
