Traumatic brain injury
Damage to the brain caused by external mechanical force. Neuroprotective peptides like Semax, BPC-157, and DSIP are studied for TBI recovery through neuroplasticity enhancement and inflammation reduction.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Traumatic brain injury?
Why is Traumatic brain injury important in peptide research?
Related Terms
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor, a protein that supports neuron survival, growth, and synaptic plasticity. Critical for learning and memory. Upregulated by peptides like Selank, Semax, and Dihexa.
InflammationThe body’s immune response to injury, infection, or irritation. Acute inflammation is protective; chronic inflammation drives disease. Many peptides (BPC-157, KPV, LL-37, Thymosin Alpha-1) modulate inflammatory pathways.
Blood-brain barrierA semi-permeable membrane of endothelial cells that separates circulating blood from brain tissue. Most peptides cannot cross the BBB, which is why intranasal delivery is used for neuroactive peptides like Selank and Semax.
