Tissue elasticity and the ageing elastic fibre [PDF]
AGE, 2009 The ability of elastic tissues to deform under physiological forces and to subsequently release stored energy to drive passive recoil is vital to the function of many dynamic tissues. Within vertebrates, elastic fibres allow arteries and lungs to expand and contract, thus controlling variations in blood pressure and returning the pulmonary system to a ...

The structure and micromechanics of elastic tissue [PDF]
Interface Focus, 2014 Abstract Elastin is a major component of tissues such as lung and blood vessels, and endows them with the long-range elasticity necessary for their physiological functions. Recent research has revealed the complexity of these elastin structures and drawn attention to the existence of extensive networks of fine elastin fibres in ...

The fusion of tissue spheroids attached to pre-stretched electrospun polyurethane scaffolds [PDF]
Journal of Tissue Engineering, 2014 Effective cell invasion into thick electrospun biomimetic scaffolds is an unsolved problem. One possible strategy to biofabricate tissue constructs of desirable thickness and material properties without the need for cell invasion is to use thin (
