Research resources
A curated set of external resources for deeper research into longevity peptide biology — primary-literature databases, key research programmes, UK regulatory references, and research-grade peptide suppliers.
Primary literature
The starting point for primary literature on any peptide on this site. We cite PubMed records directly where they exist.
Open-access ageing-biology journal. Multiple papers on Humanin, MOTS-c and SS-31 originate here.
Site of the foundational MOTS-c and Humanin metabolism papers (Lee et al. 2015, Kim et al. 2018).
Research institutes & programmes
Khavinson research programme — origin of Epitalon, Pinealon and the broader short-peptide cytomedine family.
Commercial sponsor of SS-31 (elamipretide) clinical development across MMPOWER, ReCLAIM and other programmes.
Pinchas Cohen's group at USC — major contributors to mitochondrially-derived peptide biology (MOTS-c, SHLPs).
Regulatory & reference
UK medicines regulator. Authoritative reference for UK licensing status.
Primary UK legislation governing supply, advertising and promotion of medicines and unlicensed medicinal products.
UK data-protection regulator. Authoritative reference for UK GDPR and data-protection enquiries.
