Increase in blood-transferable linear and cyclic dipeptides in human plasma following ingestion of elastin hydrolysate

open access: yesFood Hydrocolloids for Health
In this study, we analyzed the absorption of linear and cyclic dipeptides containing Gly, Pro, Ala, and Val by human blood following the ingestion of elastin hydrolysate.

i‐Tac: Inverse Design of 3D‐Printed Tactile Elastomers with Tuneable Optical and Mechanical Properties

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Inspired by the multi‐tissue architecture of the human fingertip dermis (A), this work introduces a mixture design using three PolyJet materials (AC/TM/GM) to expand the achievable elastomer property space (B). An inverse design pipeline (i‐Tac) is developed to map target optical/mechanical requirements to optimal material compositions (C), enabling ...

Influence of aging on dermal elastin fiber architecture and skin firmness assessed by finite element modeling

open access: yesScientific Reports
Skin firmness and elasticity are largely determined by the dermal extracellular matrix, particularly the elastin fiber network. Age-related degradation of elastin alters its architecture, contributing to diminished skin resilience.

OPTIMUM METHOD FOR COMMON CARP ELASTIN EXTRACTION AND THE ANTI-OXIDANT ACTIVITY OF ELASTIN ENZYMATIC HYDROLYSATE

open access: yesThe Iraqi Journal of Agricultural science
This study aimed to compare five protocols to optimize elastin purification, where purification protocols for elastin generally result in greatly damaged elastin fibres and this likely influences the biological response. The optimal protocol for elastin

Morphological and morphometric aspects of the equine aortic valve: New insights for comparative studies in mammals

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract New data on the equine aortic valve obtained using advanced techniques is especially important given the greater availability of animal models for translational research. Here we characterized the morphological and morphometric aspects of the equine aortic valve from 60 healthy hearts collected at equine abattoirs.

Elastin peptides in aging and pathological conditions

open access: yesBiomolecular Concepts, 2013
Elastin is the protein responsible for the resilience of vertebrate tissue. It is an extremely stable protein deposited during the early stages of life and experiencing almost no renewal. As a consequence, it can be considered that each individual has an

Morphometric analysis of postnatal lung development in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica): An ultrastructural study

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract An ultrastructural morphometric analysis of the postnatal development of the lung in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica) has been conducted to evaluate the morphofunctional status of this poorly developed marsupial lung immediately following parturition.

Research Progress on the Preparation of Elastin Peptides and Their Effect on Delaying Skin Aging

open access: yesShipin gongye ke-ji
Elastin, the primary structural component of elastic fibers, serves as a vital protein that imparts elasticity and tensile resilience to skin and other connective tissues.

Human evolution and the obstetrical dilemma: The pelvic floor hypothesis

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Human childbirth is mechanically difficult because a large‐headed, broad‐shouldered fetus must pass through a comparatively narrow, twisted bony birth canal. Traditional explanations of this “obstetrical dilemma” emphasize the role of bipedal locomotion in inhibiting the evolution of a wider, more spacious pelvis.

Elastin Expression is the Strongest Risk Factor for Developing Pelvic Organ Prolapse

open access: yesIndonesian Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2013
Objective: To compare elastin expression in the anterior vaginal wall of women with and with no pelvic prolapse. Methods: The research was conducted in RS Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo and other network hospitals of Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of
