METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR KERATINOCYTE CULTURE AND THERAPEUTICS

摘要

The invention encompasses composition and methods for cell culture and for therapeutic and cosmetic use. The compositions and methods utilize collagenase, e.g., bacterial collagenase, other isolated collagenase, or synthetic collagenase, e.g., recombinant collagenase. One form of collagenase that can be used in some embodiments of the invention is matrix metalloproteinase-1. The compositions and methods of the invention also optionally utilize a cAMP-elevating agent.
