KELOID TREATMENT

摘要

Due to a long-standing interest in scar reduction, alanyl-glutamine was tested for ability to treat keloid scars, despite the difficulties associated with delivering compounds above a certain size threshold across the skin barrier to the dermis where new skin is formed. Surprisingly, it was found that a dermal application formulation of alanyl-glutamine was effective in reducing the severity and/or preventing the formation of keloid scars.
