A synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from human gastric juice, studied for its regenerative and protective properties.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids with a unique pharmacological niche between small-molecule drugs and large proteins. Their use in sports medicine is rapidly expanding, driven by patient demand for accelerated injury recovery and performance…
Therapeutic peptides are emerging as promising adjuncts in the management of orthopaedic injuries, grounded in their ability to modulate molecular signaling networks central to cellular medicine. By acting on key pathways such as PI3K/Akt, mTOR, MAPK…
Newborn screening (NBS) is a cost-effective public health strategy for the early detection of congenital disorders that cause neonatal/infant morbidity and mortality. It is standard care in many high-income and emerging economies. Nigeria, despite it…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The combination of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is widely used to treat pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP), peritoneally metastasized colorectal or appendiceal cancer (pmCRC or pmApp…
Body Protection Compound-157 (BPC 157) is a stable gastric pentadecapeptide with cytoprotective, pro-angiogenic, and nitric oxide (NO)-modulating properties that has gained increasing attention for its therapeutic potential. Although vasodilatory eff…
BACKGROUND: Peptide therapeutics represent an emerging frontier in gerontological medicine, targeting fundamental hallmarks of aging including metabolic dysfunction, telomere attrition, tissue repair impairment, and hormonal decline. OBJECTIVE: To co…
As a novel theoretical and practical advantage, preclinical to clinical evidence, this systematic review of PRP, growth factors, and stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 efficacy in complex musculoskeletal and junctional injuries emphasizes the cy…
This review presents an innovative and timely exploration of how cytoprotection can serve as a cohesive therapeutic approach by which to address the hemorrhage-thrombosis paradox. Presenting counteraction of both hemorrhage and thrombosis as phase-de…
BACKGROUND: Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head is a progressive condition that leads to collapse of the femoral head in 85% of symptomatic patients when left untreated. As it is typically a disease that occurs among the younger population,…
Fanconi anaemia (FA) is a DNA-repair disorder that compresses multiple hallmarks of ageing into childhood and early adulthood. Persistent genomic instability in FA precipitates oxidative stress, inflammatory remodelling, and metabolic reprogramming,…
This review examines and hypothesizes cytoprotection as a conceptual therapeutic criterion for antiarrhythmic drugs, referring to the possibility of suppressing arrhythmias while avoiding adverse electrophysiological or systemic effects. Toward a the…
Therapeutic peptides are short chains of amino acids used to treat metabolic and endocrine conditions such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. While several peptide drugs have undergone rigorous approval processes that evaluate both safety and efficacy,…
No Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy studies have directly evaluated adrenalectomy vessels, the technique's established ability to probe collagen/elastin-associated spectral features and lipid peroxidation-related signatures, and protein…
This study addresses the infection caused by Vibrio parahaemolyticus Vp5, which carries the pirA and pirB toxin genes responsible for hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) in Pacific white shrimp, leading to significant production losses. The use…
BACKGROUND: Therapeutic peptides are short-chain amino acids that regulate cellular functions and facilitate biochemical processes. In recent years, there has been significant growth in the global market for therapeutic peptides and thus its populari…
This 7-day rat tracheocutaneous fistula study considered the not-studied issues of tracheocutaneous fistula course, wound healing, and fistula in the NO-system relations. Therefore, we focused on fistulas' severe course, tracheocutaneous fistula → ai…
This review explores the therapeutic potential of the stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 in addressing electrolyte imbalances, specifically hyperkalemia, hypokalemia, hypermagnesemia, and hyperlithiemia. In hyperkalemia, BPC 157 demonstrated a c…
Body Protective Compound-157 (BPC-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from gastric proteins that has demonstrated notable reparative and anti-inflammatory properties across diverse preclinical models. Experimental evidence reveals that BPC-1…
Although approached through many concepts, the pleiotropic healing issue, specifically, maintaining/reestablishing tissue integrity, remains a central challenge in pharmacology, particularly when the process is misdirected or not properly controlled.…
In this study, pharmacotherapies of abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) and intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) in animal studies were reviewed from the perspective of ACS/IAH as failed cytoprotection issues, as non-specific injuries, and from the po…
