@the.living.room.pod: Peptides aren't all the same. And the differences matter more than most people realize. In this conversation, Dr. Pinchas Cohen breaks down the three general categories of peptides — and the third one is where things get interesting. The first two categories come from biology. Peptides that already exist in the body, and those derived from natural sources. But the third? Those are engineered from scratch. Using AI, researchers are now designing entirely synthetic peptides with predetermined biological activity. You identify a target — a receptor, a pathway — and then you build a sequence of amino acids specifically designed to meet it. It's not discovery. It's engineering. As Dr. Cohen explains, this is the next generation of the science. And it raises a question worth sitting with: IF we can design the outcome in advance, what does that mean for the future of medicine? Tune into the full conversation, out now on all major streaming platforms.
