Tesamorelin is a synthetic 44–amino acid analog of growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH) that has attracted attention outside the experimental domain for its potential as a research tool. This ...

Thymagen (also called thymogen; dipeptide Glu-Trp, EW) is a synthetic peptide analog derived from thymic extracts and regarded in peptide bioregulator research for its putative immunoregulatory and ...

Scientists have long known that mutations in certain genes affecting microtubules in plants can cause plants to grow in a twisting manner. In most cases, these are “null mutations,” meaning the ...

Research into how a father’s choices — such as diet, exercise, stress, nicotine use — may transfer traits to his children has ...
