4 October 2026

Intranasal peptide delivery explained: the olfactory and trigeminal pathways, why deposition and mucociliary clearance limit it, and why rodent data overstates it.

What “Research Use Only” Actually Means Under UK Law

4 October 2026

Under the Human Medicines Regulations 2012, research use only is not a disclaimer but a description — and presentation, not chemistry, is what changes it.
