Detection of human elastase isoforms by the ScheBo Pancreatic Elastase 1 Test. [PDF]
Determination of fecal pancreatic elastase content by ELISA is a reliable, noninvasive clinical test for assessing exocrine pancreatic function. Despite the widespread use of commercial tests, their exact molecular targets remain poorly characterized.

Fecal pancreatic elastase-1 levels in older individuals without known gastrointestinal diseases or diabetes mellitus [PDF]
Background Structural changes occur in the pancreas as a part of the natural aging process. With aging, also the incidence of maldigestive symptoms and malnutrition increases, raising the possibility that these might be caused at least in part by ...

A neutrophil mimicking metal-porphyrin-based nanodevice loaded with porcine pancreatic elastase for cancer therapy. [PDF]
Porcine neutrophil elastase (PPE) has been demonstrated to have a histone H1 isoform dependent anti-tumour effect. Here, the authors develop a biomimetic nanoplatform combining PPE and elevated histone H1 release induced by porphyrin nuclear localisation
