Fidgetin-like 2
Fidgetin-like 2 (FL2) is a human
skin cells migrate to wounds to heal them. If this enzyme is suppressed/absent, skin cells move faster, speeding the healing process.[1]
Delivery
Molecules of silencing RNA (
siRNA) that bind to a gene's messenger RNA (mRNA) can inhibit the production of FL2, but siRNAs require protection from degradation in order to reach a wound site.[2]
In 2015, researchers disclosed the successful use of
