The peptide is responsible for activation of a wide range of skin health functions, including wound healing, immune function, collagen synthesis, blood vessel development, fibroblast production and anti-inflammatory responses
Unlike many compounds that target a single pathway, BPC-157 activates multiple interconnected repair mechanisms simultaneously
However, current evidence is mainly derived from preclinical studies, and further investigations, particularly rigorous clinical trials in humans, are necessary to clarify the mechanisms involved and to evaluate their efficacy and safety in patients with cutaneous melanoma
