- The most important distinction: TB-500 cannot rebuild tissue that no longer exists. If you've lost cartilage in a joint, torn a tendon beyond repair capacity, or experienced significant muscle atrophy, TB-500 won't regenerate those structures. It can only optimise the repair response of the tissue you still have. Stem cell therapy, by contrast, introduces mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or adipose-derived stem cells that differentiate into the specific cell type needed for structural repair. Chondrocytes for cartilage, tenocytes for tendons, myocytes for muscle. This article covers how each mechanism works at the molecular level, what conditions respond better to peptide signalling versus cellular transplantation, and what the published trial data shows about efficacy, duration, and realistic outcome timelines.
