Background: Peptides are usually used to investigate regulatory networks and protein
function. They can also be used in therapeutic research: They are employed both to identify …

Peptides and proteins are the natural means of activating and inhibiting cellular
mechanisms. Normal functions of the central nervous system (CNS) largely dependent on …

This review shows some classical applications of peptides and suggests there is great
promise for the treatment of various central nervous system diseases. Actually, peptides are …

Peptides are small molecules composed of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds.
The targeted action of these peptides along with their magnificent ability to reach locations in …

Neurodegenerative diseases are a broad group of largely debilitating, and ultimately
terminal conditions resulting in progressive degeneration of different brain regions. The …

Peptides represent a class of natural molecules with diverse physiological functions,
including hormone regulation, neurotransmission, and immune modulation. In recent years …

Despite recent leaps in modern medicine, progress in the treatment of neurological diseases
remains slow. The near impermeable blood-brain barrier (BBB) that prevents the entry of …

Here we review a unique aspect of CNS research on biologically active peptides that started
against a background of prevalent dogmas but ended by exerting considerable influence on …

Peptides act as effector agents that regulate and/or mediate physiological processes,
serving as hormones, neurotransmitters and signal transducing factors. The low molecular …

Neuropeptides play a crucial role in the normal function of the central nervous system and
peptide receptors hold great promise as therapeutic targets for the treatment of several CNS …
