(Cell) Each component peptide is associated in published preclinical literature with distinct mechanistic pathways: copper-dependent ECM-related signaling (GHK-Cu), inflammatory pathway modulation (KPV), angiogenesis pathway markers (BPC-157), and actin-driven cell-migration assays (TB-500)
Neurological deficit scores, brain water content, Nissl staining, and aquaporin 4 (AQP4) immunohistochemistry were detected in different groups of rats
