Recombinant humanized type III collagen promotes repair of acute UV-induced skin injury with attenuated oxidative stress and extracellular matrix remodeling.
Ultraviolet (UV)-induced skin injury is characterized by excessive oxidative stress, inflammatory activation and extracellular matrix (ECM) disruption. Animal-derived collagen is limited by source-dependent heterogeneity, batch variability, and potential biosafety concerns. Here, we developed a molecularly defined reco...
