What does the GHK copper peptide do in research?

Most GHK-Cu data come from wound healing and tissue repair models. In cultured fibroblasts, it raised collagen synthesis at very low concentrations. In rat wound chambers, it increased glycosaminoglycans and small proteoglycans, the molecules that help organize collagen. In a mouse burn model, GHK-Cu delivered in liposomes sped wound closure, with more cell growth and new blood vessels.

Other models include mouse lung injury, where it lowered inflammatory signals, and isolated human hair follicles grown in vitro. Gene-expression analyses link GHK to genes tied to tissue remodeling and antioxidant defense. None of this shows effects in people.
