Stable Gastric Pentadecapeptide BPC 157, Robert's Stomach Cytoprotection/Adaptive Cytoprotection/Organoprotection, and Selye's Stress Coping Response: Progress, Achievements, and the Future

Pickart L., Margolina A.

Pickart's modern overview of the copper-tripeptide she has been working on since the 1970s. Wound healing, hair, skin, and the lesser-known systemic gene-expression effects — all in one place. The single best entry point to GHK-Cu literature.

Seiwerth S. et al.

The Sikiric group's consolidated wound-healing review — incisional, excisional, burn, diabetic-ulcer, alkali-burn rodent models lined up in one place. Preclinical only; no human RCT exists. Read it to understand the mechanistic claims, not as clinical evidence.

Sikiric P. et al.

Sikiric's NO-pathway mechanism paper — BPC 157 modulates nitric-oxide synthesis, competing with both L-arginine and L-NAME. The most-cited mechanistic hook for BPC-157's vascular and healing claims. Single-group work, no independent NO-pathway replication.

Pickart L., Vasquez-Soltero J.M., Margolina A.

Pickart's earlier overview emphasizing GHK-Cu's antioxidant signaling and gene-modulation effects relevant to aging tissues. Mechanistic argument that GHK-Cu's age-dependent plasma decline tracks with the same processes it appears to reverse — interesting hypothesis, mostly cell and animal data behind it.
