BPC-157 is studied in laboratory settings for its potential roles in:

- Tissue regeneration: Promotes angiogenesis and vascular repair via VEGF receptor pathways

- Cytoprotection: Shields epithelial and gastric tissues from chemical and ischemic damage

- Growth factor modulation: Influences fibroblast activity and upregulates growth hormone receptor expression

- Neurological support: Explored for its effects on nerve healing and neuroinflammation in animal models
