THE SOURCE INDEX

Sixteen records behind the repair map

The fixed bibliography for every numbered claim across GLOW, GHK-Cu and KPV.

How to read this index

This bibliography is the source boundary for Glo Peptide. Bracketed numbers throughout the site point to the records below. The list includes narrative reviews, experimental papers, topical and ex vivo human-facing research, animal models and cell studies. Those designs answer different questions, so the citation number establishes provenance rather than equal evidence weight. Each compound page explains the relevant model and limitation in context. The index preserves the composed record without adding studies, changing identifiers or converting a component finding into blend-level proof.
