Spatial and temporal changes in extracellular elastin and laminin distribution during lung alveolar development [PDF]
, 2018 Lung alveolarization requires precise coordination of cell growth with extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and deposition. The role of extracellular matrices in alveogenesis is not fully understood, because prior knowledge is largely extrapolated from ...

Nature, 1962 THE aorta consists of elastin, collagen and a number of other proteins; it also contains about 2 per cent of carbohydrate1. Elastin is usually isolated from aorta or ligamentum nuchae by treatment with acids and alkalis at elevated temperatures; however, a small amount of ill-defined carbohydrate appears to be held strongly and cannot be easily ...

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 ...

Physiologic compliance in engineered small-diameter arterial constructs based on an elastomeric substrate. [PDF]
, 2009 Compliance mismatch is a significant challenge to long-term patency in small-diameter bypass grafts because it causes intimal hyperplasia and ultimately graft occlusion.

Fibulin-4 is essential for maintaining arterial wall integrity in conduit but not muscular arteries [PDF]
, 2017 Homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in fibulin-4 (FBLN4) lead to autosomal recessive cutis laxa type 1B (ARCL1B), a multisystem disorder characterized by significant cardiovascular abnormalities, including abnormal elastin assembly, arterial ...

Elastin peptides signaling relies on neuraminidase-1-dependent lactosylceramide generation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The sialidase activity of neuraminidase-1 (Neu-1) is responsible for ERK 1/2 pathway activation following binding of elastin peptide on the elastin receptor complex.

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

Bioactive Materials, 2023 Cardiac extracellular matrices (ECM) play crucial functional roles in cardiac biomechanics. Previous studies have mainly focused on collagen, the major structural ECM in heart wall. The role of elastin in cardiac mechanics, however, is poorly understood.
