- Dermal Wound Repair
- Epithelialisation %, collagen I/III ratio, capillary density (CD31+ per mm²)
- 0, 3, 7, 14, 21
- Saline vehicle control, wound size standardisation, identical excision depth
- Wound closure rate (mm²/day), collagen density (μg/mg tissue)
- Best for TB-500 angiogenic mechanism demonstration. Short study duration, clear quantitative endpoints
- Tendon/Ligament Injury
- Tensile strength (MPa), collagen fibre alignment (polarised light), MMP-2 expression
- 0, 7, 14, 21, 28
- Sham injury control, mechanical load standardisation, contralateral limb baseline
- Load-to-failure force (Newtons), elastic modulus (MPa)
- Gold standard for functional outcome validation. Mechanical testing proves biological relevance
- Myocardial Infarction Model
- Ejection fraction (%), infarct size (% LV), capillary density, cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate
- 0, 7, 14, 28
- Sham surgery control, infarct location standardisation, echocardiography timing
- Fractional shortening (%), scar tissue area (mm²)
- Clinically relevant but requires advanced imaging. TB-500 cardiac data strongest in this model
- Skeletal Muscle Strain
- Contractile force recovery (% baseline), inflammatory cell infiltration, satellite cell activation (Pax7+ cells)
- 0, 3, 7, 14
- Contralateral muscle control, strain severity grading, force measurement protocol
- Peak tetanic force (N), cross-sectional area recovery (%)
- Fastest measurable outcomes. TB-500 effects detectable by day 7 in published studies
- This table shows that TB-500 research outcomes tracking is not a one-size protocol. The biomarkers, timepoints, and controls depend entirely on the injury model. Dermal studies can capture meaningful data in 14–21 days; tendon studies require 28+ days to measure mechanical strength recovery. The 'Professional Assessment' column highlights which models provide the clearest causality demonstration: mechanical testing in tendon studies and ejection fraction in cardiac models leave little room for subjective interpretation.
