The effect of flexible joint-like elements on the adhesive performance of nature-inspired bent mushroom-like fibers

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2018
Many organisms rely on densely packed, tilted and curved fibers of various dimensions to attach to surfaces. While the high elastic modulus of these fibers enables an extremely large number of fibers per unit area, where each fiber stands freely without ...

Dill Extract Induces Elastic Fiber Neosynthesis and Functional Improvement in the Ascending Aorta of Aged Mice with Reversal of Age-Dependent Cardiac Hypertrophy and Involvement of Lysyl Oxidase-Like-1

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
Elastic fibers (90% elastin, 10% fibrillin-rich microfibrils) are synthesized only in early life and adolescence mainly by the vascular smooth muscle cells through the cross-linking of its soluble precursor, tropoelastin.

Oxytalan, Elaunin, And Elastic Fibers In The Human Skin

open access: yes, 1976
The elastic system of normal human skin was studied by light and electron microscopy. By light microscopy three different types of fibers were observed: oxytalan, elaunin and elastic. The most superficial ones (oxytalan fibers) are very thin and directed
