Fibrillin-3 expression in human development [PDF]
Fibrillin proteins are the major components of extracellular microfibrils found in many connective tissues. Fibrillin-1 and fibrillin-2 are well studied and mutations in these proteins cause a number of fibrillinopathies including Marfan syndrome and congenital contractural arachnodactyly, respectively.

The role of epidermal growth factor-like module containing mucin-like hormone receptor 2 in human cancers. [PDF]
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are among the most diverse and ubiquitous proteins in all of biology. The epidermal growth factor-seven span transmembrane (EGF-TM7) subfamily of adhesion GPCRs is a small subset whose members are mainly expressed on ...

Assessment of Bones Deficient in Fibrillin-1 Microfibrils Reveals Pronounced Sex Differences
Defects in the extracellular matrix protein fibrillin-1 that perturb transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) bioavailability lead to Marfan syndrome (MFS).

ABSTRACT Background The accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in aged skin and their pro‐aging effects suggest the potential application of anti‐glycation ingredients as skin anti‐aging agents. Aims This study evaluated the anti‐aging efficacy of a newly developed anti‐glycation ingredient with antioxidant and autophagy‐stimulating ...

Extracellular matrix and vascular dynamics in the kidney of a murine model for Marfan syndrome.
Fibrillin-1 is a pivotal structural component of the kidney's glomerulus and peritubular tissue. Mutations in the fibrillin-1 gene result in Marfan syndrome (MFS), an autosomal dominant disease of the connective tissue.

Various clinical differences have been observed between patients with the FBN1 gene mutation and those with the classical Marfan phenotype. Although FBN1 knockout (KO) or dominant-negative mutant mice are widely used as an animal model for Marfan ...

Molecular mechanisms in cell‐associated elastic fiber assembly. Abstract Elastogenesis is a cell surface‐located hierarchical process that requires the core components tropoelastin and fibrillins and several accessory proteins, including fibulin‐4 (FBLN4) and latent TGF‐β binding protein‐4 (LTBP4).

Preoperative Skin Conditioning: Extracellular Matrix Clearance and Skin Bed Preparation, A New Paradigm. [PDF]
This paper introduces the concept of "skin bed preparation" prior to surgical procedures. Following the theory of chronic wound bed preparation and adapting the skin model to one of chronic wound changes related to extrinsic and intrinsic factors, a ...
