Characterization of potential elastase inhibitor-peptides regulated by a molecular switch for wound dressings applications
Elastase plays an important role in wound healing process, degrading damaged tissue and allowing complete tissue recovery. The levels of human neutrophil elastase (HNE) are usually controlled by endogenous inhibitors. However, in the presence of high levels of elastase, like the ones present in chro...
