Deciphering the Results of p21 Peptide Research: From Neuroprotection to Oncology

While there are two distinct biological entities referred to as 'p21', recent animal research shows that the synthetic p21 peptide (P021) can restore cognitive function in Alzheimer's models and promote neurogenesis. It is crucial to distinguish this from the endogenous p21 protein (CDKN1A), which has a complex and context-dependent role in cell cycle regulation and cancer.
