Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as messengers, helping your body repair, restore, and maintain optimal function
For example, researchers from a 2016 review of data on the gut-brain axis and BPC-157 explain that the peptide could maintain gastrointestinal mucosa, modulate serotonergic and dopaminergic systems, regenerate peripheral nerves, protect certain neurons, counteract various types of lesions, promote wound healing, and more.7 Some of these possible benefits are due to BPC-157s promotion of the cell migration of vascular endothelial cells.24 This means that the peptide can encourage the formation of new blood vessels (also known as angiogenesis)
However, CD146 expression in MSCs is heterogeneous
The fuller picture is that some models show benefit signals, while others do not show a clear lifespan effect
