Summary
Examined BPC-157 on rat Achilles tendon explants and cultured tendon fibroblasts. Reported increased outgrowth of tendon tissue from explants, improved cell survival under oxidative stress, and increased cell migration, with the authors linking these to a specific signalling pathway. A laboratory study; no live animals or humans were treated.
