When your cells have more energy (in the form of NAD+), they are better equipped to handle repair processes, including the repair of skin cells damaged by environmental stressors
Nonetheless, whether the specific mechanism of this is related to the transdifferentiation of VSMCs to a bone-like phenotype, loss in SMC lineage markers, enhanced pro-calcific microRNAs, increased intracellular calcium level, apoptosis, or aberrant DNA damage response (DDR) requires further investigation
Multiple studies have demonstrated that BPC-157 accelerates healing in transected tendons, with treated animals showing faster return of tensile strength compared to controls
