What is NAP?
An 8-aa ADNP-derived neuroprotective peptide studied for brain injury and neurodegeneration. It aims to stabilize microtubules, reduce cellular stress, and support neuronal survival.
Key Benefits & Mechanisms
neuroprotection
axonal-support
cell-survival
Research Summary
NAP has shown neuroprotective effects in animal models of ischemic injury, tauopathy, and axonal dysfunction. Human development did not yield a broadly approved product, but it remains a real regenerative-neuro peptide candidate.

EGF
Human Epidermal Growth Factor
EGF is a small endogenous growth factor that drives epithelial cell migration and proliferation during tissue repair. It has been studied for burns, ulcers, and mucosal healing because it can accelerate re-epithelialization.
Recovery & HealingFGF2
Recombinant Human Fibroblast Growth Factor 2
FGF2 is a potent mitogen involved in angiogenesis, fibroblast expansion, and granulation tissue formation. It is widely studied in skin repair, ischemic tissue recovery, and chronic wound models.

Recombinant Human Platelet-Derived Growth Factor-BB
rhPDGF-BB is a dimeric growth factor that recruits fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells into the wound bed. It has a well-known role in chronic wound care, especially diabetic foot ulcers, where it supports granulation and closure.

Recombinant Human Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF, FGF7)
Palifermin is a truncated recombinant form of keratinocyte growth factor that protects and expands epithelial tissues. It is most recognized for mucosal protection, but the same biology is relevant to epithelial recovery and healing.
