Semax Peptide Research: A Neurosurgeon’s Investigation into BDNF, Neuroprotection, and Cognitive Resilience
Two years ago, I sat across from a patient in post-op — a 54-year-old engineer, technically a textbook success after a meningioma resection — and he told me something that stayed with me: “My hands work fine. But I feel like I’m thinking through fog.” His imaging was clean. His motor scores were perfect. But…

GHK-Cu Copper Peptide Research: A Neurosurgeon’s Look at Gene Activation, Tissue Repair, and Antioxidant Signaling
I didn’t expect a molecule my own body produces to stop me cold mid-research session. But that’s what happened with GHK-Cu. I was reviewing post-surgical tissue repair literature — something I do regularly as a neurosurgeon — and I kept running into citations for this small copper-binding tripeptide with an almost absurdly broad reach. The…

Selank Peptide Research: A Neurosurgeon’s Look at Anxiety, BDNF, and the Tuftsin-Derived Anxiolytic
A few years ago, a psychiatrist colleague sent me a paper on Selank with a note that said simply: “You’ll find this interesting.” He was right. As someone who spends a lot of time thinking about the neurological consequences of chronic stress — the inflammation, the structural changes, the cognitive toll — I’ve long been…

Semax Peptide Research: A Neurosurgeon’s Look at ACTH-Derived Neuroprotection
The first time I watched a patient lose language after a stroke — able to think, unable to speak — I was a resident standing at a bedside where surgery had gone perfectly. The clot was removed. The pressure was managed. But something in that neural circuitry had shifted in ways no scalpel could address.…

Tesamorelin Peptide Research: What a Neurosurgeon Learned About GHRH and Visceral Fat Science
There’s a connection between visceral fat, growth hormone decline, and neurological health that rarely gets discussed outside of academic endocrinology papers. I stumbled onto it while reviewing post-operative metabolic profiles in older patients — noticing how consistently central adiposity correlated with worse recovery trajectories. That curiosity led me to Tesamorelin peptide research, and what I…

NAD+ vs NMN: What Research Reveals About These Two Longevity Compounds
Research and educational content authored by Dr. James Nguyen, board-certified neurosurgeon and scientific advisor to BLL Peptides. For research and educational purposes only. Not for human or animal use. As research into cellular aging and metabolic function has expanded, two compounds have attracted sustained scientific attention: NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide). Though…

BPC-157 vs TB-500: Comparing Two Research Peptides for Tissue Repair and Recovery
Research and educational content authored by Dr. James Nguyen, board-certified neurosurgeon and scientific advisor to BLL Peptides. For research and educational purposes only. Not for human or animal use. BPC-157 and TB-500 are among the most studied peptides in regenerative biology research. Both have accumulated substantial preclinical literature examining tissue repair, but their mechanisms are…
