Methods

Cultured cells exposed to the synthetic dipeptide at defined concentrations, with readouts on proliferation and gene expression. Concentrations and passage details: [source needed]

Findings

  • Authors report concentration-dependent changes in expression of a small set of genes.
  • Effects are described at very low peptide concentrations, which is the central mechanistic claim of the whole lineage.

What this does not show

  • In vitro only. No clinical endpoint follows from this.
  • Cell-culture results at low concentration are difficult to replicate across labs.
  • This is not a product endorsement.
