Elastic microfibril distribution in the cornea: Differences between normal and keratoconic stroma [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The optical and biomechanical properties of the cornea are largely governed by the collagen-rich stroma, a layer that represents approximately 90% of the total thickness.

P3.11 INCREASED CAROTID PLAQUE OCCURRENCE IN MEN WITH THE FIBRILLIN-1 2–3 GENOTYPE

open access: yesArtery Research, 2009
Background: Fibrillin-1 is an important constituent of the vascular wall and earlier studies have indicated an effect of the fibrillin-1 2–3 genotype on blood pressure as well as aortic stiffness.

Bacterial porphyrins in healthy skin: Microbiota components impact melanogenesis and age‐related processes leading to Porphyr'ageing

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue 1, Page 186-199, February 2026.
Porphyrins, previously linked only to acne inflammation, are now implicated in skin ageing. Their presence correlates with increased melanin, inflammation, and oxidative stress, contributing to premature ageing signs. This study introduces the concept of “Porphyr'ageing,” highlighting the detrimental effects of bacterial metabolites on skin health and ...

Collagen Content in Skin and Internal Organs of the Tight Skin Mouse: An Animal Model of Scleroderma. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The Tight Skin mouse is a genetically induced animal model of tissue fibrosis caused by a large in-frame mutation in the gene encoding fibrillin-1 (Fbn-1). We examined the influence of gender on the collagen content of tissues in C57BL/6J wild type (+/+)

Immobilized metal affinity chromatography co-purifies TGF-β1 with histidine-tagged recombinant extracellular proteins.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Extracellular recombinant proteins are commonly produced using HEK293 cells as histidine-tagged proteins facilitating purification by immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC).

Using an Unbiased Coexpression Network to Reveal Cross‐Talking Pathways of Phosphoinositide‐3‐Kinase Regulatory Subunit 1 in Skin Aging and Rejuvenation

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 2, 31 January 2026.
Mechanistic pathways of PIK3R1 in skin aging and rejuvenation were analyzed by bioinformatics approach and Gene Expression Omnibus database. Compared with young skin, PIK3R1 was differentially expressed in aged and IPL rejuvenated skin. Coexpression and network analyses revealed that PIK3R1 jointly participated in skin aging and rejuvenation via PI3K ...

Perspectives on the revised Ghent criteria for the diagnosis of Marfan syndrome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Three international nosologies have been proposed for the diagnosis of Marfan syndrome (MFS): the Berlin nosology in 1988; the Ghent nosology in 1996 (Ghent-1); and the revised Ghent nosology in 2010 (Ghent-2).

Fibrillin–integrin interactions in health and disease

open access: yesBiochemical Society Transactions, 2008
Human fibrillin-1 is the major structural protein of extracellular matrix 10–12 nm microfibrils. It has a disulfide-rich modular organization which consists primarily of cbEGF (Ca2+-binding epidermal growth factor-like) domains and TB (transforming growth factor β-binding protein-like) domains.

Inflammatory Response as a Mechanism of Perinatal Programming: Long-term Impact on Pulmonary and Renal Function? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
RATIONALE: Temporal changes in the fetal environment, such as malnutrition and placental insufficiency induce intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and lead to a permanent changes of physiological processes later in life.
