BPC-157 in Connective-Tissue Models
The BPC-157 literature is concentrated in rodent connective-tissue work: tendon, ligament, and muscle. This piece walks through the specific injury models the research has actually used.

TB-500 and the Analytical Record
TB-500 is the acetylated 17-23 fragment of thymosin beta-4, and its clearest literature is not clinical but analytical: the chemistry papers that pinned down what the compound actually is.
TB-500 and Thymosin Beta-4: The Fragment Is Not the Protein
TB-500 is Ac-LKKTETQ, a seven-residue acetylated fragment corresponding to residues 17 to 23 of thymosin beta-4. Thymosin beta-4 is a 43-residue protein. Analytical chemists established the distinction in 2012, and it governs how the literature should be read.
BPC-157: Three Decades of Croatian Research
BPC-157 is the product of a research programme run since the 1990s by Sikiric and colleagues at the University of Zagreb. The published record spans gastrointestinal, tendon, ligament, muscle, and central nervous system models, almost entirely in rats.
