Effect of peptide RADA16-I on aesthetic repair of burn wounds
January 2010
TLDR RADA16-I improves hair growth on deep burn wounds better than other materials.
The study investigated the effect of peptide RADA16-I on the aesthetic repair of burn wounds, specifically focusing on hair and gland regeneration. Using deep Ⅱ degree and Ⅲ degree skin burn wounds as models, the results showed that hair growth on burn wounds and surrounding normal tissue was more vigorous in the RADA16-I group compared to other biological materials. Additionally, there was a strong expression of keratin 19 in the root hair follicle and glands during the acute repair stage (24 hours post-burn). The conclusion was that RADA16-I enhanced hair growth on deep burn wounds more effectively than other materials.
