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 ...

Signaling pathways in elastic tissues
Cellular Signalling, 2019 For many years elastin was considered as the matrix component structurally required to provide tissue elasticity. However, the expanded knowledge on the regulation of connective tissue homeostasis has revealed that elastic fibers also represent a source of elastokines and are the target of a number of signaling pathways mainly involving the TGF-β/BMP ...

Quantification of Atherosclerotic Plaque Elasticity Using Ultrasonic Texture Matching
IEEE Access, 2020 The composition of an atherosclerotic plaque is a major determinant of its vulnerability, i.e. proneness to rupture. This paper proposes an ultrasonic texture matching method, which is shown to reflect the distribution of elastic modulus and is a ...

Polarized cortical tension drives zebrafish epiboly movements [PDF]
, 2016 The principles underlying the biomechanics of morphogenesis are largely unknown. Epiboly is an essential embryonic event in which three tissues coordinate to direct the expansion of the blastoderm.
