The reading list
Culture dishes, skin preparations and people appear in different places in this collection.
A route through the collection
For the most contained experiment, begin with collagen synthesis in human fibroblast cultures. The tissue-remodelling review then widens the subject to the proteins and signals involved in repair.
The skin-regeneration review and the topical anti-wrinkle review collect the cosmetic material. They are syntheses of other work. Reviews occupy their own shelf in my estimation, apart from a single experiment.
Delivery and hair
The human-skin penetration paper follows copper in skin outside the body. The human GHK combination hair trial measures hair-count changes, while the AHK-Cu follicle study concerns a related molecule in laboratory settings.
My affection for this collection lies in those changes of scale. The papers do more interesting work when they are allowed to remain distinct.
