Elastin is a structural protein that plays a central role in how skin stretches, moves, and returns to shape.
Research into elastin, elastic fibres, and elastin-derived peptides spans cellular studies, biological models, and broader investigations into skin aging and connective tissue structure.
The studies below provide context for understanding this area of research.
