The peptides are then combined and processed through a freeze-drying step, which removes solvent and water while preserving peptide structure and biological characteristics
Factors typically reviewed include injury type and severity, medical history, current medications, and rehabilitation status
Importantly, BPC 157, but not PDGF-BB, stimulated earlier maturation of granulation tissue, soluble collagen concentration in the exudates (using sponge implantation), and organized collagen significantly more in wounds (i.e., on day 12 after daily treatment) (Tkalcevic et al., 2007)
combination data is nonexistent Safety first Overlapping side effect profiles create legitimate concerns about additive adverse events Patience pays Phase 3 trials for both compounds are ongoing
