Wound healing
research compounds.
This is the research area people arrive at first, usually after a tendon or a joint that conventional treatment did not settle. We are not going to tell you what these compounds do for that. What we will tell you: this is what the published research looks at. Compounds studied in laboratory and animal models of fibroblast migration, angiogenesis, extracellular matrix remodelling, and tissue repair. The four Cresten catalog compounds with the most peer-reviewed publications in this research area.
Wound healing and tissue regeneration research.
The compounds in this category are studied in laboratory and animal models for their effects on the cellular and molecular pathways that govern tissue repair: fibroblast migration and proliferation, angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels), extracellular matrix remodelling, collagen synthesis, and the resolution of inflammatory responses following tissue injury. The mechanisms studied span gastrointestinal mucosa, skin, tendons, ligaments, and vascular endothelium.
Research peptides in this category are typically supplied as lyophilized powder for laboratory reconstitution. Their use in published research is in cell culture (fibroblast assays, endothelial migration assays, scratch-wound assays) and in animal models (rat tendon transection studies, alkali-burn skin models, intestinal ischaemia-reperfusion models). Cresten Labs supplies these compounds for that research context only.
Cresten compounds studied in this area.
BPC-157
CAS 137525-51-0Pentadecapeptide derived from human gastric protective compound. Studied in laboratory models of fibroblast migration, tendon healing, vascular collateralization, and gastrointestinal mucosal protection. Most-cited compound in this category.
TB-500
CAS 77591-33-443-amino-acid peptide also known as TB-500. Studied in cell culture and animal models for effects on actin sequestration, cell migration, angiogenesis, and the inflammatory response to tissue injury.
GHK-Cu
CAS 49557-75-7Glycyl-histidyl-lysine copper complex, a naturally-occurring tripeptide-copper chelate. Studied in laboratory models of collagen synthesis, glycosaminoglycan production, and extracellular-matrix remodelling.
KPV
CAS 67727-97-3Tripeptide derived from alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. Studied for effects on pro-inflammatory cytokine modulation, particularly in laboratory models of inflammatory bowel conditions.

Methodology and verification.
Every Cresten batch in this research area is verified at Janoshik Analytical (Czech Republic) before stock release. Identity by LC-MS, purity by HPLC to two decimal places, sterility and bioburden per Ph. Eur. specification. The current batch certificate is published on this site before any vial ships. Researchers running quantitative work in this area should review the COA before incorporating any compound into their methodology.
