Elastin genetic point mutation and the risk of pelvic organ prolapse
Clinical and Experimental Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2020 Aim: A missense mutation in the elastin gene (g28197A > G) is associated with an increased risk for inguinal hernias. Due to the shared epidemiological and pathophysiological features between pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and inguinal hernias, the authors ...

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.

A mammalian Wnt5a-Ror2-Vangl2 axis controls the cytoskeleton and confers cellular properties required for alveologenesis. [PDF]
, 2020 Alveolar formation increases the surface area for gas-exchange and is key to the physiological function of the lung. Alveolar epithelial cells, myofibroblasts and endothelial cells undergo coordinated morphogenesis to generate epithelial folds (secondary

Nature, 1953 IN previous publications1,2, we reported that extracts of animal pancreas made with fluids of different pH exhibit varying elastolytic activity (e.u./gm.) on account of the presence of elastase inhibitor, which in the pancreas is bound to elastase3. In crude neutral solution, the activation of elastase may be carried out by acidification, dialysis or ...

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019 Vascular calcification can be enhanced by hyperglycemia. Elastin loss in tunica media promotes the osteogenic transformation of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and involves arterial medial calcification (AMC) that is associated with a high incidence of ...

Thermoelasticity of Elastin [PDF]
Nature, 1970 THERE is some controversy about the presence in elastin of an ordered structure1–3. Mammi et al.4 now report evidence for the occurrence of some degree of α-helix conformation in the native protein. The conformation was previously5 observed in soluble elastin; the temperature coefficient of the α-helix had different values in solvents such as water or ...

Protein-based materials, toward a new level of structural control [PDF]
, 2001 Through billions of years of evolution nature has created and refined structural proteins for a wide variety of specific purposes. Amino acid sequences and their associated folding patterns combine to create elastic, rigid or tough materials.
