About these DSIP references

Every quantitative claim across this site maps to one of the numbered DSIP references below, each a peer-reviewed study with its DOI or PubMed link given in full. The list spans the founding 1977 isolation, the small 1980s and 1990s human pilot trials, the contradictory hormone work, the Russian longevity research, and the most recent fusion-peptide engineering — the whole uneven arc of the delta sleep-inducing peptide literature, gaps included.
