Chromoplast biogenesis in Chelidonium majus petals
The differentiation of chromoplasts, with special emphasis on the formation and the organisation of chromoplast fibrils, was followed in the petals of the greater celandine, Chelidonium majus L.

Review of the Molecular and Developmental Basis of Myhre Syndrome, Bench Research
ABSTRACT Myhre syndrome (MS) is a connective‐tissue disorder within the acromelic dysplasia spectrum. It is characterized by congenital craniofacial, skeletal, cutaneous anomalies, respiratory, cardiovascular along with intellectual disability, deafness, and progressive fibrosis.

Characterisation of novel matrix-binding interactions for latent transforming growth factor-β-binding protein-2 (LTBP-2), with emphasis on heparin and heparan sulphate proteoglycans. [PDF]
Elastic fibres are important components of the extracellular matrices, being composed of an elastin core and fibrillin-microfibrils around the periphery.

We investigated the distribution of fibrillin-2 and LTBP-2 (latent TGF-β binding protein-2) in the intervertebral disc of the adult bovine tail. The association of fibrillin-2 and of LTBP-2 with fibrillin-1 was examined by dual immunofluorescence ...

During development, biomechanical forces contour the body and provide shape to internal organs. Using genetic and molecular approaches in combination with a FRET-based tension sensor, we characterized a pulling force exerted by the elongating pharynx ...

Abstract Background Fibrillins provide a scaffold for elastic fiber formation, which enables lung recoil and aortic compliance. Abnormal fibrillin microfibrils, as in Marfan syndrome, lead to enlarged alveoli, vascular stiffening, and aneurysms. Our earlier studies suggested that fibrillin function depends on O‐glucosylation of its epidermal growth ...

Matrix metalloproteinase-2 degrades fibrillin-1 and fibrillin-2 of oxytalan fibers in the human eye and periodontal ligaments in vitro. [PDF]
福岡歯科大学博士(歯学)2014年度Oxytalan fibers are distributed in the eye and periodontal ligaments (PDL). The ciliary zonule, known as Zinn's zonule, in the eye is composed of oxytalan fibers, which are bundles of microfibrils consisting mainly of fibrillin-1 and ...

Abstract Background There is emerging evidence for the role of the immune system in osteoarthritis (OA) pathophysiology; however, little is known about how immune cells and the synovial transcriptome are altered in naturally occurring equine OA. Objectives To evaluate synovial fluid (SF) and synovial membrane (SM) immune cell populations and the SM ...

Cancer Risk in Marfan Syndrome: A Swedish Population‐Based Cohort Study
The cancer risk in Marfan syndrome, an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder, largely remains to be explored. In this population‐based matched cohort study of 1544 Swedish patients, the overall cancer risk in adults with Marfan syndrome showed no significant increase, except for the risk of endocrine tumours with a nearly threefold increase ...
