MOTS-c in Sepsis Cardiomyopathy: Plausible, Not Validated
MOTS-c touches every process that goes wrong in septic hearts. A 2026 review separates the direct evidence from what was borrowed elsewhere.
BPC-157 in a Harvard Pain Review: 7 Peptides, Little Data

GLP-1 in Ulcerative Colitis: 66.7% vs 25.3% at 12 Weeks
GLP-1 receptor agonist users with ulcerative colitis reached remission far more often than matched controls. Weight loss was not associated with it.
Retatrutide Led 3 GLP-1 Drugs on Kidney Fibrosis in Mice
Retatrutide, tirzepatide and semaglutide were run through the same two mouse models of kidney scarring. Each engaged a different pathway.
Tirzepatide Plus TOFA: More Than Additive in Obese Mice
Tirzepatide works by cutting food intake. A 2026 Science Advances paper reports an oral molecule that cuts fat without touching intake, and adds to it.
Semaglutide: 6 Years of EU Reports, Two Unsettled Signals
