From micellar aggregates to fibrils: cold atmospheric plasma-driven structural transformation of native and glycated soluble elastin derivative

Elastin is a key structural protein that provides elasticity to connective tissues, enabling them to stretch and recoil during normal physiological movements. It is essential for the proper functioning of mechanically active organs such as the skin, lungs, and major blood vessels. Glycation of elastin, a non-enzymatic...
