Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for accelerating the healing process of wounds, increasing the closure of skin wounds, and decreasing inflammation at the site of a skin wound. Specifically, the disclosure relates to compositions comprising a delta-PKC activator, an alpha-PKC inhibitor, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier that is free of Ca2+ and Mg2+ cations. The disclosure also relates to compositions comprising an insulin or insulin analog and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier that is free of Ca2+ and Mg2+ cations.
Abstract: Methods for inducing or accelerating a healing process of a damaged skin or skin wounds are described. The methods include administering to the skin cells colonizing the damaged skin or skin wound a therapeutically effective amount of an adipokine, an adipocyte or preadipocyte modulator, adipocytes, preadipocytes, or stem cells, or transforming the skin cells colonizing the damaged skin or skin wound such as to express and secrete an adipokine, thereby inducing or accelerating the healing process of the damaged skin or skin wound.
Abstract: Method and compositions are provided for treating or preventing a skin pathology or disorder associated with diabetes and/or aging, by topical administration of at least one agent capable of restoring an impaired physiological condition of the skin associated with said skin pathology or disorder. Examples of such agents include PKC modulating agents, various adipokines and insulin signaling related molecules. In particular, restoration of the subcutaneous adipose tissue can overcome many of the diabetic skin pathologies and aging skin disorders and conditions.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a buffered ophthalmic composition for formulation of topically administrable suspensions useful for treating eye disorders by promoting wound healing, delivery of pharmaceutically active agents, and lubricating the eye. In particular the ophthalmic composition includes a buffer solution compatible with application to a mammalian eye, wherein the buffer provides increased mechanism of action of pharmaceutically active agents as well as therapeutic qualities. The ophthalmic composition exhibits dual therapeutic action to alleviate various eye disorders as it concomitantly treats corneal ulcerations and excessive inflammation which results from various eye injuries.
