In biochemical research, GHK-Cu is notable because its endogenous concentration has been observed to decline significantly with age, correlating with a diminished capacity for tissue regeneration
For hair specifically, the Pyo 2007 study (PMID 17703734) described a more defined mechanism: in cultured human dermal papilla cells, AHK-Cu increased proliferation, raised vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), lowered transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1), and shifted apoptosis markers toward cell survival
