Read the evidence
Cell migration, tendon explant growth and animal healing are distinct endpoints. These findings do not establish therapeutic benefit in humans.
Resolve the identity
The 15-residue sequence contains three consecutive prolines after GE. A shorter sequence in the supplied legacy document was malformed.
