Described herein are polypeptides comprising an IGF2 amino acid sequence and an amino acid sequence from a heterologous polypeptide useful for the treatment of soft-tissue and muscle diseases, disorders, and injuries. Mutations within the IGF2 amino acid sequence improved the stability of the molecule by reducing backbone cleavage. Also described herein are synergistic combinations of an Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Receptor (IGF1R) agonist and a short chain fatty acid. Also described are methods of treating muscle and soft-tissue diseases comprising administering the polypeptides and/or synergistic compositions.
