Reading list
The experiments and reviews behind these essays, grouped here by the questions they address.
The collagen cultures
Start with the collagen-synthesis experiment in human fibroblast cultures, then the tissue-remodeling review and the skin-regeneration review. I value the experiment's narrow observation and the reviews' broader account for different reasons.
Topical delivery and skin outcomes
The skin-layer penetration study concerns copper passage and retention. The anti-wrinkle review brings the delivery challenge together with reported topical results. These are the central entries for the skin-barrier and skin-results essays.
The hair preparations
Read the GHK and 5-aminolevulinic acid trial alongside the AHK-Cu follicle and cell study. The first tested a combination in men; the second examined a copper-peptide analog in human follicles and cells outside the body. Their distinction is the subject of the hair essay.
