A web site that sells peptides and proteins also sells Recombinant Human Keratinocyte Growth Factor-2. What is this for?

It says: Human Keratinocyte growth factor-2 (KGF-2 or FGF-10) is a novel human protein that stimulates the repair of injured mucosal tissues. KGF-2 directly promotes wound-healing by stimulating the proliferation, migration and differentiation of epithelial cells, and has direct chemotactic effects on tissue remodeling. KGF-2 also appears to result in less scarring. It was found to induce healing in skin and mucosal cells that had been damaged, but had no effect on healthy cells.

Anyone used or heard of this?

They also have this: Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2

"Description: Human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) is involved in the development of many organs and tissues as well as in the estab-lishment of the basic embryonic body plan. This implies its potential use in the regeneration of many types of tissues following injuries and dis-eases. It has the unique capacity of inducing bone regeneration and ectopic bone formation in adult vertebrates. In fact, clinical trials performed recently have shown that, when delivered properly, recombinant BMP-2 is effective and safe alterna-tives to autologous bone grafting. Further therapeutic applications, including its application for osteointegration of metallic implants, tendon and ligaments reunion with bones, cartilage repair and even in non-skeletal diseases, are foreseen. "


Has anyone used it?

Never heard of it. Look it up on pubmed to see if theres any thing on it or med line.

Yep, my wife received BMP after her disk removal/cervical vertabrae fusion surgery and titanium plate. Boosted the regeneration rate of her donor bone grafting...

*Definitely not something amateurs should use for injury unless you know what you are doing or are aware of the ramafications if used improperly.

** Why the hell would you even be interested in this? Not remotely comparable to the BB related peptides.
Do you plan on skipping the orthopedic appointments for all your bone breaks and ortho injuries you're planning for?

LOL! Not at all. I was just curious about these products. Found something on Pubmed so now i know what are they for.

That made me laugh at loud.
