Impact of N‐linked glycans on the dual short fibulin/LTBP‐4 axes regulating elastogenesis
Elastic fiber assembly is orchestrated by multiple glycoproteins. We delineate the molecular basis of two key axes involved in elastic fiber formation—LTBP‐4L/fibulin‐4 and LTBP‐4S/fibulin‐5. We show that N‐linked glycans on these glycoproteins regulate their interactions and conformations, both of which are critical aspects in elastic fiber formation.

Novel deletions causing pseudoxanthoma elasticum underscore the genomic instability of the ABCC6 region [PDF]
Mutations in ABCC6 cause pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), a heritable disease that affects elastic fibers. Thus far, >200 mutations have been characterized by various PCR-based techniques (primarily direct sequencing), identifying up to 90% of PXE-causing

Abstract Purpose The aim is to establish the relationship between carotid susceptibility and microstructural components in diseased carotid arteries. Methods Excised cadaveric carotid arteries (n = 5) were scanned using high‐resolution QSM at 7 Tesla. After ex vivo imaging, all samples were brought to histology and stained for elastin, collagen, cells,

Primary systemic amyloidosis, acquired cutis laxa and cutaneous mucinosis in a patient with multiple myeloma [PDF]
A 57-year-old woman presented with periorbital ecchymoses, laxity in skin folds, polyneuropathy and bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome. A skin biopsy of the axillary lesion demonstrated fragmentation of elastic fibers, but with a negative von Kossa stain ...

ABSTRACT This case highlights the importance of considering rare conditions like Mounier‐Kuhn Syndrome in patients with chronic respiratory symptoms, especially in regions with high tuberculosis prevalence. Enhanced awareness and advanced imaging are vital for accurate diagnosis and effective management of such conditions.

Clinical Features and Brain MRI Findings in Korean Patients with AGel Amyloidosis [PDF]
Purpose: AGel amyloidosis is systemic amyloidosis caused by pathogenic variants in the GSN gene. In this study, we sought to characterize the clinical and brain magnetic resonance image (MRI) features of Korean patients with AGel amyloidosis.

Autosomal recessive cutis laxa type-1 with complex systemic manifestations
Cutis laxa (CL) is a rare connective tissue disorder characterized by loose, sagging, and redundant skin. Both inherited and acquired forms are known. A 7-year-old boy, presented with loose, sagging skin chiefly over the face, extremities, and skin folds

ABSTRACT Cutis laxa is an uncommon disorder characterized clinically laxitiy of the skin, which hangs in loose folds, by the loss of dermal elastic tissue. We report a case only neck localized of cutis laxa that no systemic involvement was diagnosed. The skin laxity was preceded by episodes of itching and swelling on her neck. When the patient applied
