BPC-157 Heals Corneal Defects: Eye Wound Healing From a Gut Peptide
BPC-157 promoted corneal epithelial defect healing in rats, accelerating re-epithelialization — extending its wound healing to the eye and opening ophthalmic applications.
Quick Facts
What This Study Found
BPC-157 accelerated corneal epithelial defect healing in rats with faster re-epithelialization compared to controls, extending its documented tissue repair capabilities to the eye — a new organ system for BPC-157 therapeutic application.
