- Epitalon and MOTS-C represent two of the most mechanistically distinct peptides studied in longevity and biological ageing research. Epitalon — a synthetic tetrapeptide bioregulator acting through pineal and telomere biology — approaches ageing through the neuroendocrine-circadian and genomic stability axes. MOTS-C — a mitochondrial-derived peptide activating AMPK-mediated metabolic programmes — addresses ageing through the metabolic efficiency, mitochondrial function and exercise-mimetic axes. Understanding how these fundamentally different biological approaches to longevity research compare, complement, and potentially interact is valuable for researchers designing multi-mechanism ageing biology experiments.
