    Summary

    Characterized palmitoyl-KTTKS (Matrixyl) in liposomal delivery systems and demonstrated enhanced collagen stimulation in fibroblast cultures. When delivered via phospholipid vesicles, pal-KTTKS stimulated collagen production more effectively than free peptide or ascorbic acid positive control.

    Key Findings

    • Liposome-delivered pal-KTTKS stimulated greater collagen production than free peptide
    • Outperformed 1 mM ascorbic acid (positive control) for collagen synthesis stimulation
    • Liposomal formulation improved peptide stability and cellular delivery
