An injectable peptide that helps induce the growth of fat under the skin could help plump up aging skin, according to researchers from the Berkeley Laboratory.
|
The technology might be able to replace dermal filler injections and cosmetic surgery procedures, says the company ProGDerm that is working to bring the science to market.
|
The peptide modulates the behaviour of the RHAMM protein (Receptor for Hyaluronan Mediated Motility) which was originally discovered during research into cancer cell mobility.
