Liquid to solid transition of elastin condensates
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022 Significance Biomolecular condensates have emerged as a powerful new paradigm in cell biology with broad implications, from subcellular organization to human health and disease. Defining the spectrum of material states embodied by diverse condensates and

Advanced Healthcare Materials, 2015 The mechanical stability, elasticity, inherent bioactivity, and self‐assembly properties of elastin make it a highly attractive candidate for the fabrication of versatile biomaterials. The ability to engineer specific peptide sequences derived from elastin allows the precise control of these physicochemical and organizational characteristics, and ...

The effect of static stretch on elastin degradation in arteries. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Previously we have shown that gradual changes in the structure of elastin during an elastase treatment can lead to important transition stages in the mechanical behavior of arteries.
