Also: GLP-1 → lower breast-cancer incidence (ASCO 2026 Abstract 10506 / JCO Oncology Practice — new prevention axis); first registered human MOTS-c RCT (NCT07505745, recruiting); survodutide SYNCHRONIZE-1 Phase 3 (16.6% weight loss, liver fat −63%; ADA 2026 / NEJM + Nature Medicine). Threaded PCAC into BPC-157/TB-500/MOTS-c/KPV/DSIP/Semax/Epitalon (+GHK-Cu/Melanotan II as Cat-2-removal-only) and corrected their outdated “category-2 / do-not-compound” lines; breast-cancer into Semaglutide/Tirzepatide/GLP-1 Agonism; MOTS-c trial into MOTS-C/Mitochondrial Bioenergetics; survodutide into Survodutide/GLP-1+Glucagon Agonism. Resolved the previously-uncorroborated “July 23 2026 PCAC” claim from does-tb-500-have-human-trials. Retatrutide TRIUMPH-2/-3 still pending. SS-31 Barth approval already in KB → skipped.

Also: first registered human RCTs for BPC-157 (hamstring) and TB-500 (ASCVD) — both recruiting, no results. Threaded into Retatrutide/BPC-157/TB-500 + GLP-1/GIP/Glucagon/Lipolysis/Angiogenesis/Cytoprotection/Actin mechanisms. SS-31 Barth approval already in KB → skipped.
