Scientists Intrigued by Cream Designed to Make Old Scars Disappear

SMRTR summary

Australian scientists have found promising evidence that an experimental cream, PXS-6302, may reduce raised keloid scars by inhibiting an enzyme that causes collagen cross-linking. In a clinical trial with 50 participants, the cream reduced lysyl oxidase activity by 66 percent and decreased collagen markers compared to placebo, potentially transforming scarred skin back to normal architecture.
