Outcome measures cover histological damage scoring, cytokine panels (TNF-, IL-6, IL-10), mucosal blood flow, tight junction protein expression by Western blot, and stool consistency scoring for colitis models
By upregulating actin dynamics, TB-500 allows vital repair cells, including progenitor cells, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts, to migrate rapidly and efficiently across the damaged extracellular matrix directly to the site of an injury
In order to improve outcomes, biphasic scaffolds can be created with a softer upper layer containing chondrogenic factors (e.g., TGF-, chondroitin sulfate) and a stiffer lower layer, often loaded with calcium phosphate, hydroxyapatite, or bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), to provide structural support of the above cartilage layer and to promote osteogenic tissue formation and boney integration

These elevated levels reflect successful absorption and distribution of the vitamin into the bloodstream, where it can be utilized by tissues (source: National Institutes of Health)
