Expression of extracellular matrix protein in advanced keratoconus and the normal human cornea

Frontiers in Medicine
BackgroundThe pre-Descemet layer (Dua’s layer) (PDL/DL) and the Descemet membrane (DM) have the highest expression of elastin in normal corneas. Reduced expression of elastin occurs in the corneal stroma of patients with keratoconus (KC).

Elastin

Elastin is a key extracellular matrix protein that is roughly a 1000 times more flexible than collagens. The main function of elastin is to provide elasticity and resilience to extensible tissues like the lungs, aorta, and skin.

Biomechanics of synthetic elastin : insights from Magnetic Resonance microimaging [PDF]

, 2013
We used Magnetic Resonance microimaging (μMRI) to study the compressive behaviour of synthetic elastin. Compression-induced changes in the elastin sample were quantified using longitudinal and transverse spin relaxation rates (R1 and R2, respectively ...

Compositionally Engineered Carboxymethyl Cellulose‐Based Optical Fibers With Exceptionally Low Optical Loss and Quantitative Humidity Sensing

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
Carboxymethyl cellulose‐based biopolymer optical fibers are fabricated using aqueous wet spinning. The fibers exhibit record‐low optical attenuation in polysaccharide‐based waveguides while maintaining efficient transmission across the visible‐to‐near‐infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Morphological and morphometric aspects of the equine aortic valve: New insights for comparative studies in mammals

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract New data on the equine aortic valve obtained using advanced techniques is especially important given the greater availability of animal models for translational research. Here we characterized the morphological and morphometric aspects of the equine aortic valve from 60 healthy hearts collected at equine abattoirs.
