A self assembling peptide studied in professional topical dental formulations for early, non cavitated caries; randomised evidence concerns lesion size and caries inactivation outcomes, not established cavities or generic peptide material.
View record and quotationA 2005 double blind split face moisturizer study and a 2023 21 participant randomized topical study reported exploratory cosmetic signals.
View record and quotationA review reports supplier sponsored sensory neuron experiments and a 20 participant split face, single blind topical study using a capsaicin discomfort endpoint.
Read research recordLocated literature is chemical, computational, or supplier generated.
Read research recordHuman evidence located consists of small finished formulation studies, including a 24 participant 60 day study of acetyl hexapeptide 3 containing formulations.
Read research recordHuman evidence is very small and early: a three participant phase I pilot reported pigmentation and adverse effects, and a 20 participant erectile dysfunction study reported responses with frequent nausea/yawning.
Read research recordOsteogenic growth peptide research concerns bone, osteoblast, fracture healing, and hematopoietic models.
Read research recordResearch is cosmetic/cosmeceutical, including cell assays, patents, and formulation testing.
Read research recordCopper binding tripeptide research examines extracellular matrix signalling, fibroblast responses and topical formulation properties. The free peptide and copper complex have distinct identities.
