Abstract
Compositions suitable for pharmaceutical administration are provided in which one compound is a small peptide mimic of TGF-&bgr;. More preferably, pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are formulated as combinations of two components, wherein one component includes a peptide mimic for TGF-&bgr; and the other component is structurally or biologically analogous to a small region of collagen and mimics the conformation recognized by collagen binding species. A particularly preferred combination is A-N-V-A-E-N-A (SEQ ID NO:1) and G-T-P-G-P-Q-G-I-A-G-Q-R-G-V-V (SEQ ID NO:17).
