TLDR Modified KGF mRNA helps skin cells grow and move faster, which may improve wound healing.
The document from December 2018 explored the use of modified Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF) messenger RNA (mRNA) to stimulate keratinocyte proliferation and migration, which are essential for wound healing. The in vitro study showed that transfection with KGF-mRNA led to increased KGF protein release and improved reepithelialization in scratch assays, suggesting that mRNA therapy could be a promising approach for enhancing wound healing. The study highlighted the benefits of mRNA therapy, such as its temporary effect and avoidance of risks associated with gene therapy. While the study demonstrated positive results in cell cultures, it did not involve human subjects and did not specify the number of cells used. The authors recommended further research to validate the use of KGF-mRNA in wound therapy.
