What the researchers found
Local BPC-157 application accelerated CO2 laser wound healing in mice with faster re-epithelialization and wound contraction, extending BPC-157's documented wound healing to laser-induced tissue damage relevant to surgical and cosmetic dermatology.
Why it matters
Relevant for bpc-157, wound-healing, skin-repair.
