Accelerates Wound Healing

Studies also show that this peptide can help stimulate faster regeneration of wounds:
1. In patients with venous leg ulcers, LL-37 treatment was associated with faster healing rate (almost six-fold higher) compared to placebo. [55]
2. In mice, LL-37 treatment promoted wound healing through production of new blood vessels. [56]
3. A cell study found that LL-37 induces wound healing by stimulating the proliferation and migration of cells necessary for regeneration. [57]
4. In mice, LL-37 treatment improved re-epithelialization and granulation tissue formation – both of these processes are necessary for wound healing. [58-59]
5. Cell studies found that LL-37 improves wound healing through its antimicrobial activity. [60-61]
6. In patients with venous leg ulcers, low-dose LL-37 treatment markedly decreased the mean ulcer area. [62]
