This invention provides compositions and methods for cellular regeneration and more rapid healing of surface lesions such as cuts, abrasions, rashes and other skin disturbances. A preferred consumer-based and battlefield embodiment features a spray-on composition delivering at least one substance that stimulates intercellular communication using tunneling nanotubes (TNTs). The induced TNTs increase transport of chemical and/or electrochemical information between more stable and nascent cells or between more intact and damaged cells. The inventive substance is applicable for use for ordinary household type injuries as well as industrial and/or battlefield events, perhaps from physical or chemical accidents or even several types of chemical weapons. Other preferred embodiments incorporate a sealant composition or coating to shield the affected surface area designated for healing from contamination and/or solvents/carriers to facilitate transdermal delivery of one or more pharmaceutically active ingredients.
