Of note is the observation that one of the several proteases the schistosome gut produces for digestion of RBCs, cathepsin D, is also capable of cleaving IgG and complement component C3, although it is not known if this functions as an immune evasion technique for combatting gut permeabilization or is rather just part of digesting these factors as possible nutrient sources (167)

A separate line of investigation, work by Pollard and colleagues, demonstrated that GHK-Cu could reverse detrimental changes in irradiated cultured human fibroblasts: cells exposed to significant radiation and then treated with GHK-Cu at very low concentrations displayed a growth pattern and growth-factor secretion profile comparable to non-irradiated control cells, including increased secretion of bFGF and VEGF
pylori infection, such as BID, ZMAT3, PMAIP1 and FAS, can also be successfully controlled by the combination of curcumin and Res, which causes apoptosis to decline (166, 167)
