It activates pathways such as ERK1/2 and FAK-paxillin, which are involved in cell growth and migration
Matrikines (or matrycryptins) are small peptides that are released from a tissue after an injury, during an enzymatic cleavage of tissue proteins
The peptide exhibits multifaceted mechanisms, including tissue repair promotion via activation of growth hormone receptors and pathways like JAK2, which enhance collagen synthesis and fibroblast activity
When clinically indicated, imaging and functional testing are used to assess structural integrity, tissue health, and functional limitations
The connection between these two is more than just a coincidence
