The Emerging Role of Semax Peptide in Research Across Neurobiology
Semax, a synthetic heptapeptide (Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro), derived from adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), has emerged as a subject of growing interest in various scientific domains, particularly within neurobiological and molecular research. Originally synthesized in Russia, Semax was designed to retain some of the regulatory properties of ACTH without interacting with glucocorticoid receptors. This structural alteration has directed attention to the peptide's unique molecular architecture and its potential in modulating neurological, genetic, and cellular processes across a variety of research models.

How Drug Crime Lawyers Defend Possession and Trafficking Cases
In America, drug crimes in association with possession or trafficking are of the gravest nature. According to the Sentencing Commission, drug-related cases with overdoses receive an average sentence of 149 months, or 12.4 years. In contrast, for similar cases without an overdose charge, the average sentence imposed was some 76 months, or 6.3 years. When confronted with drug possession or trafficking charges, one must understand that lawyers do so with the defense of the accused in mind.

By Loren Kopff Sports Editor | Follow X November 13, 2025 The new system that slots football teams into divisions based off ratings that the CIF-Southern Section put into place several years ago, which has been expanded to every team from all sports, has received its share of positive and negative feedback. Teams that were undefeated or league champions are no longer guaranteed a home game, unlike the past when it was a given.
