Topic · Mechanism
Angiogenesis
Formation of new blood vessels from existing ones. Mechanistically central to wound healing and tissue repair — but also relevant to tumour biology, which is why proliferative effects must be considered.

Healing · 4 studies
Synthetic pentadecapeptide (15 amino acids) derived from a sequence of a gastric-juice protein. Studied predominantly in animal models on healing and protective processes — controlled human trials are rare and limited in scope.
Relevant observations
- Animal modelAccelerated healing of tendon injuries
- Animal modelProtection of the gastric mucosa
TB-500
Healing · 3 studies
Synthetic fragment of the endogenous protein Thymosin Beta-4, specifically the actin-binding sequence. Preclinical models investigate effects on cell migration, neovascularisation and wound healing — robust human data are absent.
