Supplied as a stable lyophilized peptide for controlled laboratory investigation only
Potential endpoints include: Endothelial-cell viability Migration Tube-formation assays Growth-factor-associated measurements Matrix interaction Cell-junction markers Gene-expression changes Structural imaging Tube formation in a culture model does not independently establish blood-vessel growth, tissue repair, or clinical benefit
It encodes MOTS-c, a 16-amino-acid peptide that travels from the mitochondrial matrix into the nucleus and even into the bloodstream, acting less like a local signaling molecule and more like a systemic hormone

The BIOM file output from the DADA2 pipeline and the DECIPHER-aligned FastTree phylogenetic tree were input into QIIME (v1.9.1) and the scripts in the Supplementary Materials (QIIME Scripts compilation) were used to establish the alpha diversity metrics of Chao1 richness estimate, Simpsons evenness measure E, Shannon diversity index H, Simpsons diversity index, and Faiths phylogenetic diversity metric (whole tree) as well as the beta diversity measures of unweighted and weighted UniFrac analyses (the latter of which factors in ASV abundance 37 ) and BrayCurtis dissimilarity analysis
