New Aspects of Thromboangiitis obliterans (von Winiwarter-Buerger's Disease) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
The existence of thromboangiitis obliterans as a clinical entity has been a matter of debate for many years. In contrast to other immunovasculitides there is no organ involvement while peripheral vessels are affected.

Microfluidic Production of Ultrathin, Handleable Collagen Sheets Exhibiting Toe‐heel Tensile Behavior

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study presents a microfluidic wet spinning technique for producing ultrathin, templated collagen sheets with hierarchical organization at the microscale. The aligned collagen sheets replicate strain‐stiffening behavior associated with native cardiovascular tissues, sup cell attachment and contraction, and enable biofabrication of load‐bearing ...

2H and 13C NMR studies on the temperature-dependent water and protein dynamics in hydrated elastin, myoglobin and collagen

open access: yes, 2009
2H NMR spin-lattice relaxation and line-shape analyses are performed to study the temperature-dependent dynamics of water in the hydration shells of myoglobin, elastin, and ...

Protein-based materials, toward a new level of structural control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Through billions of years of evolution nature has created and refined structural proteins for a wide variety of specific purposes. Amino acid sequences and their associated folding patterns combine to create elastic, rigid or tough materials.

Adaptive Elastin‐Like Hydrogel with Unidirectional and Controllable Anisotropic Actuation for Soft Robotics and Tissue Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Fiber‐reinforced elastin‐like tubular scaffolds are engineered to achieve anisotropic and reversible actuation under external stimuli. By adjusting fiber's angle, actuation behavior is finely tuned, enabling distinct actuation responses, even within different regions of the same scaffold.

Clinical Challenges in Soft Robotics

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review explores the exciting field of soft robots for medical applications. It delves into the critical challenges facing their development, including material selection, cytotoxicity, and locomotion limitations. The review then examines promising avenues for overcoming these hurdles and achieving clinical translation.

Elastases and Elastin Degradation.

open access: yesJournal of Investigative Dermatology, 1982
The metabolic turnover of mature elastin fibers in adult animals is relatively slow. Although only small amounts of elastin are degraded normally, increased degradation and fragmentation of elastic fibers may play a significant role in disease processes. Elastinolytic enzymes are found in microorganisms, snake venoms, and in a number of mammalian cells

Optimisation of tennis string production from bovine intestine : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Technology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
The collagen and elastin content of the beef thread samples ranged from between 47-70% and 1.2-2.5% respectively. Amino acid analysis showed that the collagen present was probably collagen Type I while the non-collagenous proteins predominantly were ...

Trends in the design and use of elastin-like recombinamers as biomaterials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Producción CientíficaElastin-like recombinamers (ELRs), which derive from one of the repetitive domains found in natural elastin, have been intensively studied in the last few years from several points of view.

Electrochemical‐Genetic Programming of Protein‐Based Magnetic Soft Robots for Active Drug Delivery

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This manuscript presents a protein‐based soft robot for active drug delivery. Stimuli‐responsive protein is rationally designed and processed into the substrate of robots. Superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles are patterned on the substrate using an electrochemical method, enabling the robot to respond to external physical fields.
