PNAS, 2020: "Mitochondrial protein interaction landscape of SS-31" maps which mitochondrial proteins the SS-31 peptide interacts with, a basic look at mechanism. If you want the mechanism side rather than headlines, start here. PNAS: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2002250117 Discussion welcome, with sources please. For laboratory research use only.

Cell Metabolism, 2015: "The Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide MOTS-c Promotes Metabolic Homeostasis and Reduces Obesity and Insulin Resistance" (Lee et al.). The authors describe MOTS-c as a peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA and report effects on metabolic regulation in mouse models. Mouse data only, so read it as basic research on mitochondrial signaling. Full text: https://www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/fulltext/S1550-4131(15)00061-3 Anyone read the follow-up work?

Sharing a paper worth reading if you follow copper peptide research. "Regenerative and Protective Actions of the GHK-Cu Peptide in the Light of the New Gene Data" (Pickart & Margolina, Int. J. Mol. Sci., 2018) reviews how GHK-Cu was found to influence the expression of a large set of genes in database analysis, and discusses what that suggests about tissue repair and protective pathways in lab models. It's a review, so a good starting point for the primary studies it cites. Read it: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6073405/ What stood out to you? Drop thoughts or other papers below.
