What is P-15?
A short collagen-mimetic peptide designed to enhance cell attachment and matrix formation on graft materials. It has been studied in bone regeneration and periodontal/orthopedic scaffold applications.
Key Benefits & Mechanisms
improves osteoblast attachment
supports scaffold osteointegration
enhances bone fill
may aid periodontal regeneration
Research Summary
P-15 is a real literature-backed peptide used to improve biomaterial performance in bone repair settings. Most of the evidence is device- or scaffold-based rather than as a free systemic peptide.

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.

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.
