摘要

Use of an extract of Musa sapientum to promote and/or reinforce skin cell cohesion is claimed. ACTIVITY : None given. MECHANISM OF ACTION : Focal adhesion kinase expression stimulator. The ability of the extract to stimulate expression of focal adhesion kinase was tested in normal human fibroblast.
