Research Background
SS-31 is one of the most studied mitochondria-targeted peptides in the research literature. Published studies have examined its interaction with cardiolipin, its role in mitochondrial membrane stabilisation, and its behaviour in models of oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. It has been investigated in both preclinical animal studies and clinical trials, though it is not approved for therapeutic use.
