Interaction Between Cells and Elastin, the Elastin-receptor
Connective Tissue Research, 1999This article dedicated to Ines Mandl at her 80th birthday is a short review of the recent work of our team on the elastin receptor. Our studies started in the early nineteen eighties aimed at the understanding of cell-elastin interactions. The first experiments reviewed demonstrated the inducible interaction of cells--smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts ...

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. The precursor of elastin is tropoelastin, which is primarily produced in fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, chondrocytes, and ...

Ciba Foundation symposium, 1995
Almost all structural studies on elastin have been done in higher vertebrates, in which it is organized as an extracellular network of branched fibres which vary from fractions f microns to several microns in diameter. By conventional electron microscopy, elastin appears amorphous.
