Wrinkle Research
Wrinkle research targets two distinct mechanisms. Expression-line peptides like Argireline and SNAP-8 inhibit SNARE-complex-mediated acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, reducing the muscle contractions that form dynamic wrinkles. Matrix-stimulating peptides like Matrixyl-3000 signal collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in dermal fibroblasts, addressing static wrinkles via increased extracellular matrix.
