Wound healing
Repair processes in skin, tendon, ligament or mucosal injury. Endpoints are healing speed, mechanical strength and histological markers. Peptides in this area are studied predominantly in animal models — controlled human trials are rare.
Peptides on this topic
3 peptides researched for this topicSynthetic pentadecapeptide (15 amino acids) derived from a sequence of a gastric-juice protein. Studied predominantly in animal models on healing and protective processes — controlled human trials are rare and limited in scope.
- TheoreticalImproved wound healing in humans
Endogenous tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) that chelates copper(II) ions. Studied in skin models and small human trials on collagen synthesis, skin regeneration and wound healing; permitted as a cosmetic ingredient in the EU.

- Human trialChanges in cutaneous parameters under topical application
Synthetic fragment of the endogenous protein Thymosin Beta-4, specifically the actin-binding sequence. Preclinical models investigate effects on cell migration, neovascularisation and wound healing — robust human data are absent.
