Introduction Kisspeptins (KISS1‐derived peptides such as KP-10) and chorionic gonadotropins (e.g., hCG) participate at very different levels of the reproductive signaling hierarchy. In preclinical and in-vitro systems, kisspeptin engages the KISS1R (GPR54) receptor on...

Introduction Thymosin Alpha-1 (Tα1) is a 28–amino acid peptide derived from the N-terminal region of prothymosin-α, a precursor protein expressed abundantly in thymic epithelial cells. Since its isolation from calf thymus extracts in the 1970s, Tα1 has been recognized...
