Biological & Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2017 The cross-linking of elastin by lysyl oxidase (LOX) family members is essential for the integrity and elasticity of elastic fibers, which play an important role in the characteristic resilience of various tissues. However, the temporal sequence of oxidation by LOX during elastic fiber formation is still incompletely understood.

Blockage of tropoelastin secretion by monensin represses tropoelastin synthesis at a pretranslational level in rat smooth muscle cells. [PDF]
Molecular and Cellular Biology, 1985 The blockage of protein secretion in the R22 cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cell strain with monensin repressed tropoelastin gene expression at the mRNA level by ca. 50-fold as measured by biosynthetic pulse-labeling, in vitro translation, and hybridization with a tropoelastin genomic DNA probe.

Effects of Infrared Radiation and Heat on Human Skin Aging in vivo [PDF]
, 2009 Sunlight damages human skin, resulting in a wrinkled appearance. Since natural sunlight is polychromatic, its ultimate effects on the human skin are the result of not only the action of each wavelength separately, but also interactions among the many ...

An exploratory pathways analysis of temporal changes induced by spinal cord injury in the rat bladder wall: insights on remodeling and inflammation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Spinal cord injuries (SCI) can lead to severe bladder pathologies associated with inflammation, fibrosis, and increased susceptibility to urinary tract infections. We sought to characterize the complex pathways of remodeling, inflammation, and

Phase behavior and chain dynamics of elastin-like peptides versus amino acid sequences [PDF]
, 2017 Elastin fibrillogenesis is conditioned by multiple self-assembly processes. Previous studies have evidenced the crucial influence of amino acid specificities on molecular organization of glycine-rich elastin-like peptides, but also the important role of ...

Small, Volume 21, Issue 16, April 23, 2025.This study explores the interplay between self‐assembly and di‐tyrosine bond formation in silk fibroin hydrogels photo‐crosslinked with ruthenium and sodium persulfate. The resultant dual crosslinked network is dynamic and changes over time, with hydrogel morphology, mechanical properties, and opacity tailorable via silk concentration, molecular weight,

Influence of the architecture on the molecular mobility of synthetic fragments inspired from human tropoelastin [PDF]
, 2015 This work deals with the vibrational, thermal and dielectric characterization of a synthetic peptide (S4) released during the proteolysis of human tropoelastin. This peptide was shown to form amyloid-like fibers implied in neurodegenerative pathologies.
