Elastin in Diseases

open access: yesJournal of Investigative Dermatology, 1982
Previous morphologic observations have suggested abnormalities in the elastic fibers in a number of both inherited and acquired diseases. Recent progress made in understanding of the normal biology of elastin has allowed us to examine these diseases by biochemical means. In this review we are discussing the current status of the research on the elastin

Elastin is responsible for the rigidity of the ligament under shear and rotational stress: a mathematical simulation study

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2023
Background An accurate understanding of the mechanical response of ligaments is important for preventing their damage and rupture. To date, ligament mechanical responses are being primarily evaluated using simulations.

Recent Advances in Elastin-Based Biomaterial

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2020
Elastin is one of the main components of the extracellular matrix; it provides resistance and elasticity to a variety of tissues and organs of the human body, besides participating in cellular signaling.

Elastin a Sialoprotein [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 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 ...

Elastin peptides signaling relies on neuraminidase-1-dependent lactosylceramide generation. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

In-situ formed elastin-based hydrogels enhance wound healing via promoting innate immune cells recruitment and angiogenesis

open access: yesMaterials Today Bio, 2022
Harnessing the inflammation and angiogenesis is extremely important in wound healing. In this study, we developed bioactive elastin-based hydrogels which can recruit and modulate the innate immune cells and accelerate angiogenesis in the wound site and ...

Mechanical Properties and Functions of Elastin: An Overview

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2023
Human tissues must be elastic, much like other materials that work under continuous loads without losing functionality. The elasticity of tissues is provided by elastin, a unique protein of the extracellular matrix (ECM) of mammals.
