The copper-peptide reading list
Experiments and reviews, with different kinds of work to do.
Cell experiments and skin samples
The collagen-synthesis study isolates an effect in human fibroblast cultures. The skin penetration study follows copper through laboratory skin samples. I value their sharply bounded questions: each leaves an object, a setting and a measured response in view.
The reviews
The tissue-remodeling review describes a range of biological actions across human and animal research. The skin-regeneration review brings together matrix synthesis and skin-related outcomes; the topical GHK review gives delivery a prominent place alongside anti-wrinkle research.
The gene-data review addresses a broader pattern of gene-expression changes. For that argument, start with the threshold and gene count before treating its scale as a conclusion about skin.
