Abstract
The invention provides peptides, and compositions containing those peptides, that increase the amount of fibronectin in tissue. These compositions are useful for encouraging the maintenance and development of healthy skin, for preventing and treating wrinkles, and for treating wounds. The peptides can be formulated into therapeutic compositions, lotions, creams, skin coverings and wound dressings that facilitate healing and healthy skin development, discourage scarring and wrinkling, and ameliorate the effects of healing.
