Findings and extraction notes
- The abstract reports greater angiogenesis-related measures, wound closure, collagen deposition, and tissue remodeling with the copper-peptide scaffold.
Limitations
- The intervention is a composite biomaterial, not isolated GHK-Cu exposure.
- Mouse wound healing does not establish comparative human effectiveness.
