Description

This lecture delves into the structure and function of elastic fibers, exploring their role in tissues like tendons, ears, and epiglottis. The instructor discusses the complexity of elastic fibers, their assembly with proteins like fibrelins, and the importance of maintaining elastin for skin health. The lecture also covers the impact of UV radiation on elastic fibers, the concept of turnover in collagen and elastin production, and a case study on a rare skin disorder affecting the laminin gene. The presentation concludes with a remarkable case of successful skin regeneration using tissue engineering techniques.
