Abstract

The invention describes methods and agents for improving cosmetic appearance, for promoting, improving or restoring health of cells and tissues, preferably skin, and more preferably, for restoring aged or damaged skin to a healthy appearance. In some embodiments, the invention relates to compositions of cells, eggs, cell extracts, egg extracts, and extract components such as purified nucleic acids, polypeptides, lipids, carbohydrates or other natural products.

Claims

1. A method for treating a wound on a subject comprising:

applying a composition to said wound comprising an isolated water soluble cytoplasmic fraction of salmon eggs comprising protein and messenger ribonucleic acid, wherein the protein content of said cytoplasmic fraction is about 100 to 380 mg/ml and a lipid component from a different source than said salmon eggs to the skin of said subject, wherein said application results in an effect selected from the group consisting of decreasing new epithelium thickness and decreasing newly formed epithelium.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said wound is caused by removing skin tissue by chemicals, a laser or physical force prior to said applying step.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein said composition is provided in a cream, gel, emulsion, ointment, spray, powder or lotion.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the lipid component comprises squalene, an aliphatic wax, a sterol ester, a diol ester, a triglyceride, or a sterols or combinations thereof.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein said composition further comprises keratin or filaggrin.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein said composition further comprises glutamine, antiinfective agents, anti-inflammatory agents, antioxidants and/or nicotinamide.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein said antioxidant is vitamin A, C, D, or E or combinations thereof.

8. The method of claim 3, wherein said gel comprises a compound selected from the group consisting of hyaluronic acid and chitosan.
