In Vitro and In Silico Wound-Healing Activity of Two Cationic Peptides Derived from Cecropin D in Galleria mellonella
These findings suggest that the structure and cationic charge of the short peptide facilitate robust interactions with growth factor receptors, enhancing re-epithelialization and tissue regeneration. Consequently, this peptide is a promising candidate ligand for the treatment of chronic wounds and associated infections.
