Matrice extracellulaire et vieillissement vasculaire [PDF]
La matrice extracellulaire (MEC) est un assemblage de macromolécules (collagènes, protéoglycanes, élastine et glycoprotéines de structure) qui lient des cellules homologues ou hétérologues et les organisent en tissus.

Whole exome sequencing in patients with Williams-Beuren syndrome followed by disease modeling in mice points to four novel pathways that may modify stenosis risk [PDF]
Supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) is a narrowing of the aorta caused by elastin (ELN) haploinsufficiency. SVAS severity varies among patients with Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS), a rare disorder that removes one copy of ELN and 25-27 other genes ...

Short-Term Second-Hand Smoke Exposure Predisposes the Lung to Inflammation, Elastic Fiber Injury, and Pulmonary Emphysema [PDF]
To determine whether cigarette smoke exposure predisposes lungs to secondary injury, our laboratory developed a hamster model using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to induce pulmonary inflammation following exposure to second-hand smoke.

The “History” of Desmosines: Forty Years of Debate on the Hypothesis That These Two Unnatural Amino Acids May Be Potential Biomarkers of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease [PDF]
Desmosine and isodesmosine (collectively known as desmosines), two unnatural amino acids unique to mature elastin in humans, have been widely discussed as being potential biomarkers of disorders, which involve connective tissue and whose clinical ...
