Preclinicalcounts toward this tier

Summarises consistent acceleration of healing across rodent models and states that in the stasis and pressure ulcer trials Tβ4 "accelerate[d] healing by almost a month in those patients that did heal" — a conditional, within-healers claim rather than a difference in how many patients healed.
