But while the science is promising, its important to separate marketing hype from clinical reality
In spite of this, a bewildering feature of efforts to examine the role of copper in biological processes is the limited data available on the relative distribution of copper between organs, tissues, cell types and sub-cellular compartments in mammals [2, 44, 76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83]
In the present study, cationic CPP was found to be necessary for effective intracellular delivery and senolytic effects (Figure
