Thymic peptides: an immunomodulator with a long paper trail
Thymosin alpha-1 has been studied since the 1970s, is licensed in several countries, and has a clear proposed mechanism.

PepT1, and a three-residue fragment of a larger hormone
KPV is the tail end of a larger natural peptide. The interesting part of its literature is how it gets inside a cell.
