Tissue repair research
BPC 157
The indexed literature describes a synthetic pentadecapeptide — a short amino-acid chain — derived from a sequence identified in gastric juice, and reports effects on the signalling behind new blood-vessel growth and on the migration of fibroblasts in laboratory and animal models.
What PubMed contains
Each figure links to the query that produced it. Where a count is zero, the published evidence of that kind was absent from the index at the retrieval date — a fact about the literature, not a judgement of ours.
