Control of Elastin Synthesis

open access: yesJournal of Investigative Dermatology, 1982
mRNA was isolated from the thoracic aortas of 16-day chick embryos and used to synthesize blunt-ended heteroduplex molecules consisting of one strand of mRNA and one of cDNA using AMV reverse transcriptase and S1 nuclease. The duplexes were tailed with dCTP and hybridized to the plasmid pBR322 which had been restricted with Pst I and tailed with dGTP ...

Elastin-Based Thermoresponsive Shape-Memory Hydrogels

open access: yes, 2020
A shape-memory hydrogel is a programmable hydrogel material that can store specific shapes and execute functions in response to stimuli. In this report, we developed shape-memory hydrogels by creating double-network polymeric structures using a ...

Elastin-like Polypeptide-Based Bioink: A Promising Alternative for 3D Bioprinting

open access: yes, 2021
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting offers a great alternative to traditional techniques in tissue reconstruction, based on seeding cells manually into a scaffold, to better reproduce organs’ complexity.

Thermoelasticity of Elastin [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1970
THERE is some controversy about the presence in elastin of an ordered structure1–3. Mammi et al.4 now report evidence for the occurrence of some degree of α-helix conformation in the native protein. The conformation was previously5 observed in soluble elastin; the temperature coefficient of the α-helix had different values in solvents such as water or ...

Changes in the physical structure and chain dynamics of elastin network in homocysteine-cultured arteries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The thermal and dielectric properties of the elastin network were investigated in arteries cultured with physiological and pathological concentrations of homocysteine, an aminoacid responsible of histological impairments in human arteries.

Elastin-like Recombinamer Hydrogels as Platforms for Breast Cancer Modeling

open access: yes, 2023
The involvement of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in tumor progression has motivated the development of biomaterials mimicking the tumor ECM to develop more predictive cancer models.

Visualization of elastin using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging after myocardial infarction as inflammatory response

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The aim of this study was to investigate the merits of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using an elastin-binding contrast agent after myocardial infarction in mouse models with deletions of monocyte populations.

A Study of Combining Elastin in the Chitosan Electrospinning to Increase the Mechanical Strength and Bioactivity

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2021
While electrospun chitosan membranes modified to retain nanofibrous morphology have shown promise for use in guided bone regeneration applications in in vitro and in vivo studies, their mechanical tear strengths are lower than commercial collagen ...

Analysis of the molecular mobility of collagen and elastin in safe, atheromatous and aneurysmal aortas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Aim of the study : In this study, we propose to use a thermal technique, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) to follow the evolution of elastin and collagen in safe and pathological cardiovascular tissues.

De Novo Synthesis of Elastin by Exogenous Delivery of Synthetic Modified mRNA into Skin and Elastin-Deficient Cells

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2018
Elastin is one of the most important and abundant extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins that provide elasticity and resilience to tissues and organs, including vascular walls, ligaments, skin, and lung.
