Sericin-derived oligopeptides

Sericin-derived oligopeptides has been studied in 1 paper since 2026: none in people yet, 1 in animals; 1 in the past year. The research so far is in animals. The newest paper, Mar 25, 2026: “Distinct and Overlapping Neuroprotective Efficacy of Silk Lutein and Sericin-Derived Oligopeptides from Yellow Silk Cocoons in Rodent Models of Aβ-Induced and Age-Related Cognitive Decline”.
