Article Synopsis
- Scientists are looking at short collagen-like peptides (CLPs) as a new way to help heal tissues instead of using full-length collagen.
- They found that a special type of CLP, when combined with a material called polyethylene glycol (CLP-PEG), works as well as full-length collagen in helping regrow corneal tissue and nerves in mini-pigs.
- The research shows that these peptides help the body's own cells produce tiny vesicles important for healing, which could make them useful for eye treatments and possibly other medical uses.
