Images in cardiovascular medicine : multiphoton microscopy for three-dimensional imaging of lymphocyte recruitment into apolipoprotein-E-deficient mouse carotid artery [PDF]

, 2007
Two recent elegant studies have shown that in apolipoprotein-E– deficient mice, the lamina adventitia is a major site of arterial wall inflammation associated with lymphocyte infiltration into atherosclerotic arteries and with formation of adventitial ...

Fabrication and Characterization of Recombinant Silk-Elastin-Like-Protein (SELP) Fiber.

Macromolecular Bioscience, 2018
Silk-elastin-like-protein polymers (SELPs) are genetically engineered recombinant protein sequences consisting of repeating units of silk-like and elastin-like blocks. By combining these entities, it is shown that both the characteristic strength of silk

Sculpting the Future of Bone: The Evolution of Absorbable Materials in Orthopedics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the current status of polymeric, ceramic, and metallic absorbable materials in orthopedic applications, and highlights several innovative strategies designed to enhance mechanical performance, control degradation, and promote bioactivity. We also discuss the progress and translational potential of absorbable materials in treating

Inhibition of MAPK-Erk pathway in vivo attenuates aortic valve disease processes in Emilin1-deficient mouse model [PDF]

, 2017
Aortic valve disease (AVD) is a common condition with a progressive natural history, and presently, there are no pharmacologic treatment strategies. Elastic fiber fragmentation (EFF) is a hallmark of AVD, and increasing evidence implicates developmental ...

Soft and Strong: Elastic Conductors with Bio‐Inspired Self‐Protection

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A general reverse‐engineering approach is demonstrated for designing functional yarns that uses woven fabric architecture as a structural framework. The fabric‐based stretchable conductive yarns combine flexibility, high elasticity, low stiffness, self‐protection, and weavability with conventional textile processes. By fine‐tuning the number of elastic

Arterial pathology in canine mucopolysaccharidosis-I and response to therapy. [PDF]

, 2011
Mucopolysaccharidosis-I (MPS-I) is an inherited deficiency of α-L-iduronidase (IdU) that causes lysosomal accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) in a variety of parenchymal cell types and connective tissues.

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).

Injectable Chitosan‐Platelet‐Rich Plasma Hybrid Biomaterial Improves Skin Wound Healing in Diabetic Rats

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
A biomaterial combining fresh platelet‐rich plasma with freeze‐dried chitosan (CS‐PRP) enhances diabetic skin wound healing in rats. CS‐PRP accelerates closure over the course of a month, improves healing tissue architecture and collagen remodeling, and sustains vascularization.

The Use of Thermal Techniques for the Characterization and Selection of Natural Biomaterials. [PDF]

, 2011
In this paper we explore the ability of thermal analysis to check elastin and collagen integrity in different biomaterial applications. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) has been used to analyze the first and second order transitions of the ...
