| Bioactive tetrapeptide GEKG boosts extracellular matrix formation. The topical application of the
matrikine GEKG to human skin stimulates ECM protein expression
of collagen at the mRNA and protein level, and of hyaluronan
and fibronectin, respectively, and that this is associated with a significant
improvement of skin physiological and clinical parameters
such as skin wrinkles and skin roughness reflecting skin ageing. |
