The Skin Remodeling Cycle

"Skin Remodeling is the process that removes proteins and older cells from the skin removing scars, wrinkles, and other damage. Skin remodeling is the key to biologically younger skin..."

SRCP Biochemistry Related to Tissue Regeneration

"GHK-Cu and certain other copper-peptides, have been found to accelerate the regeneration and repair of many types of mammalian tissues. Studies, at numerous universities..."

Wound Healing and Skin Repair Studies Using SRCPs

"Anti-oxidant actions of GHK-Cu was tested on rat wounds, capillary cell chemoattraction, and superoxide dismutase-like activity. GHK-Cu accelerated the healing of rat wounds..."

Skin Biology's Development of Improved Skin Remodeling Copper Peptides

"Skin Biology was organized to develop more effective copper peptides with tissue regenerative actions. Several hundred copper-peptide complexes were evaluated..."

Studies on Copper-Peptide Stability

"There was no significant difference in healing efficacy in Bioheal samples that were 2 months old, 3 years old and 5 years and 4 months old. The test was the healing of a linear incision..."

Copper Peptides to Heal Horses and Dogs

"Informal experimental testing of copper peptide creams on horses and dogs gave excellent results in studies in 1994 to 1996. All animals were pets being treated by veterinarians for injuries or..."

Dr. Pickart's Background in Wound Healing

"In 1985, Barbara Weinstein and I founded ProCyte Corporation to develop GHK-Cu for clinical wound healing uses. William Weinstein, her son and a lawyer, secured the patent rights to the..."

Stimulation of Hair Growth

Certain analogs of GHK-Cu have the property of enlarging hair follicles and stimulating hair growth. These analogs have more fat-like character than GHK-Cu. This increase in fat-like properties...

Stimulation of Fingernail Growth

"While the creams were observed to rapidly heal the skin areas, we also unexpectedly observed that damaged hooves appeared to improve markedly in health. Later, we experimented with..."

Products Developed From GHK and Copper Peptide Technologies

"GHK-Cu remains the best molecule for internal medical treatments. The function of GHK-Cu in the human body appears to be as a protectant and repair signal for damaged tissues. It is possible that..."

Clinical Studies and Safety Testing on SRCP Creams

"Skin Biology's SRCP creams have passed numerous safety tests at the University of California at San Francisco and at the Shanghai Medical University and have been found to be non-irritating and safe."

The Background and Science of GHK-Copper

"GHK-Cu emerged during my attempts to reverse certain changes that occur during human aging. The goal was to suppress the synthesis of the blood fibrinogen, a protein that rises with age and..."

Aging Reversal Experiments and GHK

"The discovery of GHK-Cu arose from aging reversal studies and a search for methods to reverse certain deleterious biochemical changes that occur with aging and are intensified..."

Liver Regeneration and Bone Healing

"Ten intraperitoneal injections of tripeptide Gly-His-Lys in doses of 1.5, 5, 50, 150, and 450 mg/kg stimulated mitotic activity of hepatocytes and dose-dependently suppressed immune reactivity..."

Skin and Hair Transplantation Studies

"GHK-Cu improved the transplants of skin grafts in pigs, mice, and humans. For pig skin grafts, the best results were obtained by using GHK-Cu dissolved in a..."

Cosmetic Skin Renewal and Aging Reversal Studies

"Skin repair creams from Skin Biology are clinically-proven to stimulate skin regeneration after diverse types of irritation and damage. Four independent, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, published..."

Exercise Improves DNA Telomeres and Activates the Repair Enzyme Telomerase

"The underlying molecular mechanisms of the vasculoprotective effects of physical exercise are incompletely understood. Telomere erosion is a central component of aging..."

Decorin Reduces Scarring and Cancer Metastasis but Regenerates Muscles and Nerves

"GHK-copper increases the production of decorin while suppressing the scar forming protein TGF-beta-1. Decorin has broad scar reduction properties and is able to bind to TGF-beta-1..."

Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Oxidant Actions and Ulcers

"GHK and GHK-Cu may function as the circulating human non-steroidal anti-inflammatories. In human plasma there is about 200 nanograms per milliliters of GHK and GHK-Cu at age 20...."
