Proteoglycan 4 (PRG4) treatment improves skin wound healing in a porcine model
The FASEB Journal, Volume 38, Issue 6, 31 March 2024.Proteoglycan 4 (PRG4) is commonly found in synovial fluid of the articular joint and serves as a boundary lubricant of articular cartilage. Interestingly, we show that human recombinant proteoglycan 4 (rhPRG4) improves healing of porcine full‐thickness skin injuries. rhPRG4 treatment decreases fibrosis, increases vascularization, and retains adipocytes
