Article Synopsis
- Elastin is crucial for skin elasticity and decreases with age, making it a target for anti-aging products.
- RiboScreen technology was used to find ribosomal proteins that enhance the production of tropoelastin, identifying ribosomal protein L40 (eL40) as a key regulator.
- A small molecule that activates eL40 was discovered, leading to increased levels of tropoelastin in cells, suggesting potential applications in skincare and cardiovascular health.
