Did you mean Collagen Expression?

Glossary Collagen Expression

process by which cells produce and release structural protein collagen

Collagen expression refers to the process by which cells produce and release collagen, a key structural protein that provides strength and elasticity to tissues like skin, hair, and connective tissues. This process is crucial for maintaining the integrity and function of these tissues, and abnormalities in collagen expression can lead to conditions such as skin aging, scarring, and hair loss.

research Comparison of MMP1 gene expression and collagen percentage in response to polydioxanone, poly-L-lactic acid and polycaprolactone thread implantation in ageing rat skin

January 2025 in “Scripta Medica”

In this study, PDO, PLLA, and PCL thread implants in ageing rat skin did not alter MMP1 gene expression but maintained collagen levels similar to young skin without UV-B exposure, suggesting possible benefits for skin collagen but not gene expression modification.
