Abstract

The present invention provides compositions and methods for targeting an extracellular matrix derived (EMD) peptide predominantly to an injured tissue, as opposed to an uninjured tissue in vivo. The targeted EMD peptide facilitates the repair and/or regeneration of the injured tissue by providing a surface for cells to attach and grow, thereby facilitating the repair and/or regeneration of the injured tissue.
