Article Synopsis
- Hyaluronic acid (HA) faces challenges in effectively penetrating the skin, but Pep-1, a cell-penetrating peptide, can help transport substances across cell membranes.
- A new peptide called HaBP is designed to bind with HA and is combined with Pep-1 to boost HA's ability to penetrate cells.
- Experiments show that this combination allows HA to enter the skin of mice without causing adverse reactions, suggesting a promising method for enhancing the absorption of HA in cosmetics and drugs.
