What is BMP-7?
An osteogenic protein studied for bone regeneration and repair of difficult skeletal defects. It has also been explored in cartilage-related regeneration models because of its role in connective tissue development.
Key Benefits & Mechanisms
supports bone formation
may aid nonunion repair
promotes connective tissue regeneration
helps scaffold integration
Research Summary
rhBMP-7 has a long history in preclinical and clinical literature for bone repair, particularly in challenging healing environments. Its cartilage-related research is less mature than BMP-2 but still relevant to musculoskeletal regeneration.

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.
Recovery & HealingrhPDGF-BB
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.
Recovery & HealingPalifermin
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.
