Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 13, Issue 27, October 28, 2024.Elastin and elastic fibers are essential components that provide elasticity and resilience to various tissues in the human body, including the skin. The main challenge arises after severe wounding, when elastic fibers need to be regenerated. This review provides a comprehensive summary of potential triggers for elastogenesis that may be further applied

A Pathophysiologic Approach to Biomarkers in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Disease Markers, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016 Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an acute‐onset hypoxic condition with radiographic bilateral lung infiltration. It is characterized by an acute exudative phase combining diffuse alveolar damage and lung edema followed by a later fibroproliferative phase.

Factors determining persistent asymmetry and egg shape in birds: A hypothesis
Ibis, Volume 166, Issue 2, Page 551-559, April 2024.The shape of birds' eggs has fascinated scientists for many years. It is now possible mathematically to describe shape accurately, allowing exploration of the physical and ecological factors driving the evolution of egg shape. However, there has been relatively little consideration of how egg shape is established in the oviduct or, given that even ...
