*Attia's AMA #83 calls peptides a legitimate drug class — but warns the evidence base is narrow.*
As of SUN, MAY 10, 9:28 AM · New Brief Daily
Last updated May 10, 2026 — I read this morning's peptide research and picked the items that mattered. Fresh brief tomorrow.
*Attia's AMA #83 calls peptides a legitimate drug class — but warns the evidence base is narrow.*
Research VialsWhat CAS registry numbers are, why they matter for peptide identification, and how to use them to verify compound identity across suppliers.

Aging CellResearchers found that the APOE2 gene variant — linked to exceptional longevity — activates DNA repair pathways in human neurons. The finding helps explain why APOE2 carriers age more slowly in the brain.
Aging CellA new review in Aging Cell makes the case for protecting skeletal muscle during weight loss. Muscle loss during caloric restriction accelerates functional decline in older adults — and the gap widens with age.
Lifespan.ioDasatinib and quercetin (D+Q) — a widely used senolytic combination — damaged specific brain regions in a new mouse study. Researchers are urging caution until human safety data catches up.
Fight Aging!New mouse data on IGF-1 receptor inhibitors shows modest but real effects on lifespan. The IGF-1 axis remains one of the most studied longevity targets — and this work adds another data point to a growing body of evidence.
Dr Trevor BachmeyerWhy Retatrutide Feels Weaker After Tirzepatide (And How to Fix It) I explain why many people feel retatrutide “doesn’t work” after switching from tirzepatide, explaining the issue is biology, not the molecule. I contrast tirzepatide’s GLP-
Cortex LabsEach week we put clips together of highlights of the last week's livestream! In this one we dive deep into a number of TRT topics we all know and love. Let's get into it!! 💥🚀 Hire me to resolve Libido/EQ/Sensation issues on TRT, HRT, or

Cortex LabsEvery Saturday we go LIVE to break down the real science of dialing in libido and erectile quality on TRT. Most men on testosterone replacement therapy are running protocols that are fundamentally broken — wrong dosing strategies, poor hor
Research VialsMOTS-c, SS-31, and the emerging class of mitochondria-targeted peptides. How they work, what they target, and why mitochondrial medicine is growing.

Dave AspreyI used to weigh 300 pounds. I tried every restrictive diet, became a vegan, and trained 90 minutes a day for 18 months with absolute zero results. Everything changed when I drank a cup of yak butter tea at 18,300 feet in Tibet. Within 30 se
eLifeScientists recorded kisspeptin (a reproductive signaling peptide) neuron activity in live mice across the full estrous cycle. The data shows a prolonged surge pattern that directly triggers the LH spike needed for ovulation.
Lifespan.ioAging disrupts the gut's immune surveillance, making it easier for harmful bacteria to take hold. New research in Aging Cell maps exactly how that breakdown unfolds at the mucosal level.
Lifespan.ioA new study found creatine added measurable benefit on top of power training in older adults. The effect was additive — not just parallel — which matters for anyone designing a resistance-plus-supplementation protocol.
Lifespan.ioT cells may hold onto a pro-inflammatory state for years after normal weight is restored following obesity. The finding raises real questions about GLP-1 weight-loss wins — metabolic repair and immune repair may not happen on the same timeline.
BluePrint (Bryan Johnson)Bryan Johnson outlines 14 home modifications aimed at cutting exposure to particulates, microplastics, and chemical residues. Some cost nothing — others require more investment. Useful as a checklist for the environmentally aware optimizer.
Lifespan.ioDr. Junyue Cao's lab built an ultra-high-throughput single-cell map of how the body ages at the cellular level. His Science paper offers one of the most detailed aging atlases to date — and points to cell types that lead the decline.
Research VialsA reference map of known synergies and conflicts across commonly researched peptides. Useful for anyone thinking through multi-compound protocols at the design stage.
Research VialsAOD-9604 (a fragment of HGH studied for fat metabolism) and semaglutide (a GLP-1 receptor agonist) take very different paths to similar metabolic endpoints. This side-by-side research comparison breaks down the mechanisms and current evidence.
Research VialsResearch overview of Melanotan peptides — melanocortin receptor agonists studied for pigmentation pathways, photoprotection, and related endocrine signaling.
Peter AttiaAMA #84 covers NAD supplementation, metabolic health markers, and how to get more out of strength training with less time. Attia also addresses dementia risk reduction and hydration — a dense, practically useful episode.
