Extracellular Matrix Repair

Meaning

Extracellular Matrix Repair refers to the complex biological process of restoring the structural integrity and functional capacity of the non-cellular components within connective tissues, particularly the dermis. This involves the breakdown of damaged matrix proteins, such as cross-linked collagen and fragmented elastin, and the subsequent synthesis of new, correctly organized structural components. Efficient repair is paramount for maintaining tissue elasticity, strength, and overall youthfulness. The process is a fundamental requirement for regenerative capacity.
