GHK Peptide in a Collagen Scaffold Accelerates Wound Healing in Rats
The copper-binding tripeptide GHK incorporated into a biotinylated collagen matrix accelerated dermal wound healing in rats, with improved granulation tissue, collagen deposition, and wound closure versus matrix alone.
Quick Facts
What This Study Found
GHK peptide incorporated into a biotinylated collagenous wound dressing accelerated rat dermal wound healing: faster wound closure, enhanced granulation tissue formation, improved collagen deposition, and better overall histological healing scores versus scaffold alone.
