Lines are themes
Signal, Gut, Mind, Repair, Bench: each line holds the stops on one theme, in the order that makes sense to read them. Stop 1 assumes the least.

How to read the map
Moleculine is a reading order disguised as a subway. Four ideas are enough to use it.
Zones are difficulty
- Zone 1, starter. No background needed. One idea per stop, every term spelled out.
- Zone 2, core. Assumes you know what a receptor and a peptide bond are.
- Zone 3, deep. Mechanism and caveats. Expect numbers and hedges.
Dashed lines are transfers
Some stops lean on an idea from another line. A dashed link on the map and a "Read first" box on the page tell you so. The planner follows those links for you.
Nobody is selling anything
Dosing questions get an honest answer: the dose on an approved label, cited to that label, what studies used in general terms, and a plain "no established human dose" where none exists. No personal dosing advice, no vendor lists and no discount codes. Mouse results are called mouse results.

Rules of the network
- 01
Mechanism before marketing. Each stop explains how something works before it says what people claim.
- 02
Say how sure. Words such as "suggests", "reported" and "debated" are used on purpose.
- 03
Show the source. The longer stops were checked against PubMed records, drug labels and regulator pages, and list them under the text. The 16 short starter stops were written earlier as introductions; they now link the papers, labels and official pages behind their facts and list them under the text too. The editorial policy sets out the process.
- 04
Not medical advice. If a stop touches your health, talk to a clinician.
- 05
Fix faults in the open. Report a wrong fact through the contact page. A corrected stop gets a new Last reviewed date.
