ABSTRACT Background/Purpose Visible light (VL), and particularly high‐energy visible light (HEVL), reaching Earth's surface has emerged as a relevant contributor to skin damage. VL has been implicated in oxidative stress, inflammation, pigmentation disorders, and photoaging, especially in individuals with darker skin phototypes.

Fibrillin–integrin interactions in health and disease
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.

Dynamic decellularized hydrogels are prepared using bovine decellularized small intestine submucosa (SIS) norbornene (dSIS‐NB). Bovine dSIS contained significant amounts of disulfide‐rich fibrillin‐I, enabling ‘self‐clickable’ thiol‐norbornene gelation and spatiotemporal tuning of hydrogel physicochemical properties.

ABSTRACT Classical homocystinuria (OMIM #236300), a rare inherited metabolic disorder caused by cystathionine beta‐synthase (CBS) deficiency, is characterized by markedly elevated homocysteine levels and associated multisystem complications. While the role of homocystinuria in venous thromboembolism is well recognized, there is limited evidence of ...

Pathogenic Mechanisms of Bicuspid Aortic Valve Aortopathy
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital valvular defect and is associated with ascending aortic dilation (AAD) in a quarter of patients. AAD has been ascribed both to the hemodynamic consequences of normally functioning and abnormal BAV

The role of calcium in the organization of fibrillin microfibrils
The microfibrillar glycoprotein fibrillin has a multidomain structure which contains forty‐three epidermal growth factor‐like motifs with calciumbinding consensus sequences. We have utilized intact microfibrils isolated from human dermal fibroblast cultures to investigate the putative influence of bound calcium on microfibrillar organization and ...

Irreversible ECM proteolysis by remodeling enzymes shapes development, homeostasis, and disease. ECM‐degrading proteases display cell specificity and are governed by shared mechanisms, exhibiting functional redundancy in generating matrikines, growth factors, and cytokines.

Fibrillin (FBN) is a plastid lipid-associated protein found in photosynthetic organisms from cyanobacteria to plants. In this study, 10 CsaFBN genes were identified in genomic DNA sequences of cucumber (Chinese long and Gy14) through database searches ...
