Collagen & Extracellular Matrix
Explore the structural proteins and extracellular framework that provide strength, elasticity, and support throughout the skin.
On This Page
Collagen
Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the human body and provides strength and support to skin and connective tissues.
Research Snapshot
This section provides an educational overview of collagen. Additional pathway diagrams, illustrations, and scientific references can be incorporated as the research library expands.
Elastin
Elastin provides flexibility and recoil, allowing skin to stretch and return to its original shape.
Research Snapshot
This section provides an educational overview of elastin. Additional pathway diagrams, illustrations, and scientific references can be incorporated as the research library expands.
Extracellular Matrix
The extracellular matrix is a network of structural proteins and signaling molecules that supports tissue organization and repair.
Research Snapshot
This section provides an educational overview of extracellular matrix. Additional pathway diagrams, illustrations, and scientific references can be incorporated as the research library expands.
Matrix Remodeling
Matrix remodeling is the continuous rebuilding of extracellular proteins during tissue maintenance and healing.
Research Snapshot
This section provides an educational overview of matrix remodeling. Additional pathway diagrams, illustrations, and scientific references can be incorporated as the research library expands.
Matrix Metalloproteinases
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) regulate extracellular matrix turnover by degrading structural proteins during remodeling.
Research Snapshot
This section provides an educational overview of matrix metalloproteinases. Additional pathway diagrams, illustrations, and scientific references can be incorporated as the research library expands.
Skin Elasticity
Skin elasticity reflects the skin's ability to resist deformation and recover after stretching, relying on collagen and elastin integrity.
