Contributions of vascular ageing to late‐onset Alzheimer's disease

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Late‐onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) is an age‐related disease that is strongly associated with vascular risk factors and cerebrovascular impairments. As such, changes in the vasculature with advancing age likely contribute to LOAD, but the mechanisms underlying these contributions remain incompletely understood.

Serum elastin-derived peptides in age-related macular degeneration.

, 2005
PURPOSE: Dysregulation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Elastin is a fibrous protein constituent of the ECM, degradation of which may be detected by the presence of ...

Vascular smooth muscle cell mechanotransduction: Pathways, phenotypes and emerging technologies

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Vascular smooth muscle cells are exposed to mechanical stimuli from the blood flow and the extracellular matrix. The cells sense the signals from cyclic stretch, shear stress, hydrostatic pressure and matrix stiffness through specialized mechanosensors, such as mechanosensitive ion channels or cell surface receptors including ...

Avian Eggshell Evolutionary Adaptations Inform Biomimetic Strategies for Next‑Generation Precision Cancer Theranostics

Advanced Oncology, Volume 1, Issue 1, December 2026.
ABSTRACT The avian eggshell is a sophisticated, multi‐functional biocomposite and, more importantly, an autonomous life‐support system evolved to safeguard embryonic development across dynamic and hostile environments. Discussing eggshell‐inspired biomaterials beyond simple structural imitation, this review translates these evolutionary survival ...

Self‐Assembly of Therapeutic Peptides for Enhanced Cancer Therapy: Strategies, Therapeutic Performance, and Future Perspectives

MedComm – Biomaterials and Applications, Volume 5, Issue 4, December 2026.
Therapeutic peptide self‐assembly is governed by multiple non‐covalent interactions, enabling the construction of diverse supramolecular structures. These self‐assembled systems can be engineered through spontaneous self‐assembly of monomers, co‐assembly, or stimulus‐responsive strategies to improve tumor delivery efficiency.

Elastin and elastin-based polymers

, 2009
Tropoelastin, elastin and elastin-derived peptides are very interesting molecules for the production of nanodevices with different purposes. Because of its peculiar structure and physical chemical characteristics, due to alternate hydrophobic and ...

Designed Protein‐Based Physical Crosslinker for Triple Helical Collagen Biomaterials

Biopolymers, Volume 117, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Collagen plays a pivotal role in animal body structure, but hydrogels of reconstituted collagens often have poor mechanical performance. Chemical crosslinking or the addition of other biopolymers are often used as a remedy. Inspired by the many natural collagen‐interacting proteins that modify the mechanics of collagen hydrogels, we explore ...

A proposed interaction mechanism between elastin derived peptides and the elastin/laminin receptor binding domain

, 2009
Elastin-derived peptides (EDPs) have been intensively studied in view of their widely diverse biological activities. These are triggered both in normal and tumor cells, through peptide anchoring at the surface of the elastin-binding protein (EBP), a

Renin‐Angiotensin Signaling and Vascular Function: Insights into Health and Disease

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The renin‐angiotensin system (RAS) is an essential regulator of vascular structure and function, and dysregulation of angiotensin II (Ang II) signaling plays a critical role in the development of hypertension and associated vascular complications.
