Bioregulators: Gene-Regulating Peptides

Bioregulators are an unusual peptide class — very short sequences (often 2–5 amino acids) that appear to regulate gene expression rather than act as classical signaling peptides. Bronchogen targets bronchial tissue in this framework.

Most of this research comes from a specific Russian scientific tradition (Khavinson and the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology), which members weigh carefully when evaluating the evidence. The concept — tiny peptides steering tissue-specific gene expression — is intriguing and distinct from mainstream peptide pharmacology. Members discuss bronchogen honestly: an interesting tissue-targeted concept whose evidence base hasn't been independently reproduced at scale in Western literature.
