- Inflammatory Phase
- 3–7 days
- 3–5 days
- TB-500 doesn't shorten inflammation but reduces destructive cytokine expression (IL-6, TNF-alpha) while maintaining repair signals
- Fibroblast Migration
- 7–21 days
- 4–10 days
- Actin sequestration allows fibroblasts to reach injury site 2–3× faster; VEGF upregulation provides vascular scaffolding for migration
- Collagen Deposition
- 3–8 weeks
- 2–5 weeks
- TB-500 upregulates MMP-2 and MMP-9, enzymes that remodel disorganised scar tissue into aligned collagen fibers. Improving tensile strength
- Tissue Remodeling
- 8–52 weeks
- 6–16 weeks
- Accelerated angiogenesis maintains nutrient delivery during remodeling; actin mobilisation supports ongoing structural reorganisation
- Professional Assessment
- Most plantar fasciitis cases resolve in 6–12 months with conservative treatment; TB-500 may reduce this to 2–4 months in research settings, but no FDA-approved human trials exist
