This study is of particular interest because the researchers also paired gene studies with laboratory studies, confirming that changes in gene expression are associated with improved collagen reorganization and fibroblasts function [ 28 ] Further studies confirmed the ability of GHK-Cu to reverse gene expression in COPD back to health [ 29 ]
This downregulation was associated with activation of AMPK and MAPK pathways (Fig
