Last updated May 22, 2026 — I read this morning's peptide research and picked the items that mattered. Fresh brief tomorrow.
*Attia separates legitimate peptide therapeutics from the noise in a rare direct assessment.*
Research VialsA research review of GHK-Cu — the copper-binding tripeptide studied for collagen synthesis, wound healing, gene expression modulation, and anti-inflammatory signaling.
PubMed · Cell reports. MedicineJi L et al., Cell reports. Medicine · 2026 Apr 21. PMID 41956096.
Aging CellA new cohort study in Aging Cell links specific supplements to measurable shifts in biological age. The data come from exceptionally healthy individuals — making the signal cleaner than most population studies.
Aging CellCutting methionine (a sulfur-containing amino acid found in meat and eggs) activates autophagy — the cell's recycling system — through a pathway separate from nitrogen starvation. Lifespan extended in yeast. Mechanistic relevance to mammals is being actively studied.
Lifespan.ioResearchers compared radiation-induced senescent cells with those triggered by the SASP (senescence-associated secretory phenotype — the inflammatory signals senescent cells emit). The two types differ in key ways, which matters for targeting them therapeutically.
Lifespan.ioChina just launched its first national competency-based training program in longevity medicine for physicians. When a government with 1.4 billion aging citizens formalizes this field, the downstream research funding follows.
The Enhanced ManIn this video, I'm sharing my personal peptide and supplement stack that costs over $1,000 per month, which I believe has been instrumental in my journey of aging well and achieving peak performance. As someone who's passionate about biohac

Dr Tyna MooreFull Episode: https://youtu.be/BxMJLdQg50Q?si=F3i1diAeJXEpfCSj As you age, your scalp barrier becomes just as important as your facial skin barrier — declining estrogen during menopause triggers inflammation and fibrosing on the scalp that
Dr Trevor BachmeyerTesamorelin and Retatrutide - Why Night Dosing Works so Well and the 3-Lever Fat Loss/Muscle Stack In this episode I break down why combining tesamorelin with retatrutide is so effective, and I debunk the Instagram myth that taking tesamor

Regan ArchibaldMuscle loss, low endurance, and declining metabolic health become bigger challenges as we age, especially after 40. In this video, I explain how SLU-PP-332 may support muscle quality, mitochondrial health, VO2 max, and longevity by activati
Research VialsWhy third-party testing is the gold standard for research peptides. HPLC methods, mass spec verification, COA interpretation, and how to confirm test authenticity.
Rena Malik MDDr. Maria Sophocles, board-certified gynecologist, surgeon, and sexual medicine specialist, joins Dr. Rena Malik to explore sexual burnout, the bedroom gap between partners, and the impact of cultural and historical messaging on sexual expe

BluePrint (Bryan Johnson)Johnson breaks down what actually moves the needle on skin aging — UV protection, evidence-backed actives, and compounds he tested over years. Relevant to anyone tracking GHK-Cu and copper peptide aesthetics research.
BluePrint (Bryan Johnson)Women over 65 with higher bone density had a 51% lower risk of death in longitudinal data. Johnson reviews the interventions with the strongest evidence and where peptide-adjacent compounds fit into musculoskeletal maintenance.
Lifespan.ioNew research pinpoints a key receptor-protein interaction that accelerates cataract progression. The pathway involves oxidative injury in lens epithelial cells — a mechanism with broader relevance to age-related cellular damage.
BluePrint (Bryan Johnson)About 5% of the body's creatine stores sit in the brain, not muscle. Johnson reviews the cognitive evidence — relevant to readers tracking peptide-adjacent compounds for mental performance and neuroprotection.
Tim FerrissVirta Health has reversed type 2 diabetes at scale using nutrition and technology — no GLP-1 agonist required. Inkinen's data challenge the assumption that pharmaceutical intervention is the only path for metabolic disease.
BluePrint (Bryan Johnson)County-level data from 3,143 US counties place short sleep (<7 hours) as the third strongest predictor of early death. For researchers tracking DSIP and sleep-architecture peptides, this is the population-level context.
Lifespan.ioA new CRISPR-based tool can selectively destroy cells carrying a target RNA — including cancer cells and virus-infected cells. The precision here opens a new lane for senolytic and targeted-clearance research.
Research VialsA ranked review of peptides studied for tendon, ligament, muscle, and bone repair — BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu, and growth hormone secretagogues.
BluePrint (Bryan Johnson)The risk curve for sedentary time is steeper than most people expect. Johnson breaks down the county-level data and the dose-response between daily sitting hours and all-cause mortality.
BluePrint (Bryan Johnson)Johnson tested his home and found microplastics, PFAS, and airborne particulates affecting his biology. The interventions he settled on range from free habit changes to equipment upgrades — relevant context for anyone optimizing their research environment.
Research VialsThe three forms of Epitalon (a tetrapeptide studied for telomerase activation and longevity) differ in stability, bioavailability, and research application. This reference guide maps the distinctions researchers actually need when designing protocols.
Research VialsBPC-157 (studied for tissue repair and gut health) and TB-500 / Thymosin Beta-4 (studied for cell migration and healing) are the two most co-researched recovery peptides. This piece maps the mechanistic overlap and where the data diverge.
