TB-500 Research Outcomes: Model Comparison
Full-thickness dermal wound (rodent) 35–47% faster closure by Day 7 IL-6 suppression + VEGF elevation at Day 3–5 Daily imaging Days 1–10 Gold standard for TB-500 dose-response studies. Reproducible, cost-effective, enables tissue harvest at multiple timepoints

- Full-thickness dermal wound (rodent)
- 35–47% faster closure by Day 7
- IL-6 suppression + VEGF elevation at Day 3–5
- Daily imaging Days 1–10
- Gold standard for TB-500 dose-response studies. Reproducible, cost-effective, enables tissue harvest at multiple timepoints
- Tendon injury model (rodent)
- 28–40% increased tensile strength at 14 days
- Type I collagen density + organized fiber alignment
- Biomechanical testing Day 14–21
- Best model for structural tissue repair but requires specialized equipment (tensile testing rig). Lower throughput than wound models
- Muscle strain model (rodent)
- 22–35% reduced inflammatory infiltrate at Day 5
- Reduced neutrophil count + faster myofiber regeneration
- Histology Day 5 and Day 10
- High variability due to strain inconsistency. Standardized injury (freeze/crush) required for reproducibility
- Corneal abrasion (rodent/rabbit)
- 40–55% faster re-epithelialization
- Epithelial migration rate via fluorescein staining
- Daily imaging Days 1–5
- Fastest healing model with clear visual endpoints but limited translatability to dermal/structural tissue applications
