The research journal
Research notes on compounds, the biological questions they raise and what the experiments actually measure.
Skin & extracellular matrix
A research guide to GHK-Cu, collagen and skin repair: findings from fibroblast cultures, animal models and a 2025 hydrogel study, with primary sources.
Read the research note ↗Cellular metabolism & NAD biology
Explore NAD+ metabolism, a small intravenous pilot and an oral NR trial. Understand the difference between a biomarker change and a clinical outcome.
Read the research note ↗Mitochondria & membrane biology
Read the research on SS-31, also called elamipretide: cardiolipin biology, the MMPOWER-3 trial and the distinct clinical context of Barth syndrome.
Read the research note ↗Endocrine signaling & metabolic research
A research guide to tesamorelin and the growth-hormone axis, with controlled studies of visceral and liver fat in people living with HIV.
Read the research note ↗Tissue repair & cell migration
Examine BPC-157 research on tendon-cell migration and a small retrospective knee-pain series, with clear distinctions between repair mechanisms and clinical outcomes.
Read the research note ↗Peptide identity & repair biology
Explore TB-500 research through peptide identity, metabolites and cell-migration assays, without conflating a short fragment with full-length thymosin beta-4.
Read the research note ↗Telomeres & cellular aging
Read primary Epitalon research on telomerase and telomere length, including a 2025 cell-line study and its correction, with limits on longevity claims.
Read the research note ↗Our approach
Each note identifies the compound, the question being investigated and the model used to study it. Findings stay attached to their source and experimental context.
We distinguish studies in cells, isolated tissue, animals and people. A result in one model does not establish the same result in another, and a study of a formulated material does not validate every presentation of its ingredients.
Notes link to primary publications. This journal is an editorial resource, not a statement that Avitus products reproduce the results of those studies.
