The naturally occurring peptide GHK-Cu (GHK from glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine bound to a copper ion), which affects 31.2% of the human genes by either activating or deactivating them (based on a criterion of a reduction or increment in gene activity of more than 50%), meaning that it works by inducing epigenetic alterations in the cells
but the environment itself plays a role too
That is, it must have the same active ingredients, strength, and dosage form, be it a pill, liquid, or injection
Migration assays show whether cells move into a defined area or through a membrane
The difference is what reaches the dermis
