Tissue quality is often higher with the blend: better mechanical properties, improved cellular organization, less scarring, and function closer to the original tissue
They occupy a middle ground between small-molecule compounds and full proteins, which is precisely what makes them useful research tools: peptides are large enough to interact selectively with specific receptors and signaling pathways, yet small enough to synthesize with high structural precision
Unopened, lyophilized peptide vials should be stored at -20C, protected from light and moisture, in their original sealed packaging
