PubMed Review: "Therapeutic Peptides in Orthopaedics — Applications, Challenges, and Future Directions"
A 2025-2026 PubMed-indexed review (PMID 41490200) consolidates the orthopedics-focused therapeutic peptide literature, covering bone graft peptides (P-15, BMP-2 mimetics), tendon repair peptides (BPC-157, TB-500), cartilage peptides (Cartalax, anti-myostatin agents), and clinical translation challenges. Cerapedics' PearlMatrix P-15 is highlighted as one of the few FDA-cleared peptide-enhanced orthopedic products — context for the company's Vizient supplier deal earlier this week.
