protein fibers

Protein fibers are strong, thread-like structures composed of proteins found in your body that provide support, shape, and resilience. Examples include collagen in skin and connective tissues, keratin in hair and nails, and elastin in arteries and skin, which give flexibility. These fibers form the foundation of tissues, helping them withstand stresses and maintain their structure. They are essential for tissue repair, elasticity, and strength, adapting to the body’s movements and stresses. In essence, protein fibers are the body's natural scaffolding, ensuring stability and functionality across various tissues.
