GHK-Cu gene data review, what it actually changes for healing vs skin

Found a 2018 review on PubMed Central that goes through the regenerative and protective actions of GHK-Cu using the newer gene expression data, not just the old skin studies.
What stood out to me is how many pathways it touches. The authors list effects on collagen, elastin, angiogenesis, and even some immune modulation. That tracks with what I've felt subq, though for me it was more about general recovery feel than anything I could point to on an image.
The skin focus in most write-ups bugs me a little. The gene data suggests broader tissue repair effects, but almost nobody is talking about tendon or joint applications in humans. The evidence there is mostly animal or in vitro.
Anyone seen actual human data on GHK-Cu for soft tissue repair, or is it still all extrapolated from skin studies?
