Discovery of a novel short peptide with efficacy in accelerating the healing of skin wounds.

Despite extensive efforts to develop efficacious therapeutic approaches, the treatment of skin wounds remains a considerable clinical challenge. Existing remedies cannot sufficiently meet current needs, so the discovery of novel pro-healing agents is of growing importance. In the current research, we identified a novel short peptide (named RL-QN15, primary sequence 'QNSYADLWCQFHYMC') from Rana limnocharis skin secretions, which accelerated wound healing in mice.
