3 minute read10/18/2023animal

Formulation work producing cationic and anionic liposomes entrapping GHK‑Cu for topical applications; investigated encapsulation efficiency, bilayer properties and enzyme inhibition relevant to skin aging.

What the study reported

Stable ~100 nm liposomes containing GHK‑Cu were prepared with measurable encapsulation efficiencies; in vitro elastase inhibition by GHK‑Cu suggests potential to slow elastin degradation.
