Primary hippocampal neuron cultures are used to study Dihexa's proposed effects on dendritic spine density and synaptic protein expression, typically measuring morphological changes via fluorescence microscopy and quantifying synaptic marker expression (such as PSD-95 or synaptophysin) relative to untreated controls

At 340 Da, GHK-Cu can passively cross intact stratum corneum at low concentrations, but the order-of-magnitude greater dermal load achieved through micro-channel delivery is what the clinical literature on physically enhanced peptide delivery argues for

The peptide sequence, derived from human growth hormone, appears sufficiently similar to native proteins that the immune system does not mount a response against it
But to me, the dose-dependent nature of it and the duration, to me, that's a very strong data that this is more causal than some corollary thing
