BPC-157+TB-500

Research reveals that BPC-157 and TB-500, which both help to stimulate wound healing via different biochemical pathways, may have synergistic effects when combined together.

Successful wound healing depends on fibroblasts, which regulate extracellular matrix production, as well as cells of the immune system. For these cells to do their jobs, they need to move to the location of injury. This movement, called migration, is heavily dependent the protein actin. Both BPC-157 and TB-500 are important in actin regulation. BPC-157 works at the level of the gene to increase actin production^[1]. TB-500, an actin binding protein, helps to sequester actin in areas where it is most useful for building filaments from actin to allow for cell movement^[2]. Together, BPC-157 and TB-500 work synergistically to increase the quantity and function of actin and thus increase the rate at which fibroblasts and cells of the immune system migrate to areas of injury.

Both TB-500 and BPC-157 interact with growth hormone in the healing process. BPC-157 increases the expression of growth hormone receptors on fibroblasts, boosting the longevity of these cells and thus their ability to promote soft tissue regeneration^[3]. With TB-500 on board, the extra growth hormone receptors will not go to waste because the fibroblasts will have adequate stores of actin to make use of their elongated lifespans. Combining TB5-00, BPC-157, collagen, and a growth hormone secretagogue is a surefire way to increase rates of wound healing and may one day replace standard treatment regimens as the gold standard.

Goldstein is professor and Catharine B. & William McCormick Chair of the department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, where he has served since 1978. Thymosins were discovered in the mid 1960’s, when Allan Goldstein from the Laboratory of Abraham White at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York studied the role of the thymus in development of the vertebrate immune system. He is a world-renowned authority on the thymus gland and the workings of the immune system, and co-discoverer of the thymosins. Dr. Goldstein is the author of over 400 scientific articles in professional journals, the inventor on more than 15 U.S. Patents, and the editor of several books in the fields of biochemistry, biomedicine, immunology and neuro-science. He is on the editorial boards of numerous scientific and medical journals and has been a consultant to many re-search organizations in industry and government; co-founder of The Institute for Advanced Studies in Aging and Geriatric Medicine, a non-profit research and educational institute; a member of the Board of Trustees of the Albert Sabin Vaccine Institute; and serves as the Chairman of the Board of RegeneRx Biopharmaceuticals. Dr. Goldstein received his B.S. from Wagner College in 1959 and his M.S. and Ph.D. from Rutgers University in 1964. He served as a faculty member of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine from 1964 to 1972, and moved to the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston in 1972 as professor and director of the division of Biochemistry.
