Research Overview
Epithalon (Epitalon, AEDG) is a synthetic tetrapeptide derivative of the pineal extract Epithalamin. In gerontology and cellular biology research it is used as a tool compound to study telomerase regulation, telomere maintenance and pineal gland–driven neuroendocrine signaling in aging models.
Primary Research Areas
- Telomerase & telomere maintenance: models investigating telomerase activity, telomere length dynamics and chromosomal stability in aging cells.
- Pineal gland & melatonin regulation: studies of pineal peptides, melatonin secretion patterns and neuroendocrine control of circadian biology.
- Circadian rhythm & clock-gene research: experimental systems exploring links between AEDG peptides, circadian timing and cellular clock mechanisms.
- Cellular aging & senescence models: in-vitro studies on replicative senescence, stress resistance and age-associated signaling pathways.
- Neuroendocrine & stress-response pathways: research into how pineal-derived peptides modulate hypothalamic–pituitary axes and systemic homeostasis.
