  • Improved collagen deposition and angiogenesis at wound sites
  • Hydrogel delivery provides sustained release of GHK-Cu at wound site

⚠️ [PMID unverified — flagged 2026-06-19] — PMID 41859865 resolves to Skurski P, Anusiewicz I, Phys Chem Chem Phys 2026, “Carbonless amino acids and a carbonless GHK peptide” — a theoretical-chemistry paper, not a hydrogel wound-healing study. (A candidate hydrogel paper, PMID 35598070 Yang X et al., Macromol Biosci 2022, is cited in the canonical GHK compound note but was not confidently confirmed for this research note.) Treat this PMID as unverified.

PMID 41859865 — GHK-Cu Hydrogel for Wound Healing

Compound: GHK Citation: PubMed

Summary

Preclinical study evaluating GHK-Cu-loaded hydrogels for wound healing applications. Demonstrates the benefit of sustained-release formulations for delivering GHK-Cu to wound sites.

Relevance to GHK

While this study uses the copper-bound form (GHK-Cu), it validates the GHK peptide backbone’s wound healing properties and demonstrates advanced drug delivery approaches for clinical translation.
