Abstract Directional cell migration plays a central role in a wide range of physiological and pathological conditions, such as embryonic development or tumor metastasis. Steps involved in cell migration include cell polarization, formation of membrane protrusions at the cell front side and adhesion disassembly at the rear side, and a general ...

Biomolecular Changes Upon Ablative Laser Therapy of the Skin: A Scoping Review
(Fractional) ablative laser therapy results in a wound healing response characterized by an inflammatory phase, dermal matrix degradation, and remodeling, collagenesis and elastogenesis. This is characterized by an increase in metalloproteinases, collagen type I, III, VII, and tropoelastin.

PKCε Increases Extracellular Elastin and Fibulin-5/DANCE in Dermal Fibroblasts
Background/Aims: In the earlier study, the selective PKCε activator DCP-LA increased elastic fibres in the dermis of HR-1 hairless mice. As a process of elastic fibre formation, tropoelastin, an elastin monomer, is secreted into the extracellular space ...

A comparative study of the elastic fibre system within the mouse and human cornea [PDF]
The cornea relies on its organised extracellular matrix for maintaining transparency and biomechanical strength. Studies have identified an elastic fibre system within the human posterior cornea, thought to allow for slight deformations in response to ...

Bioinspired Design of a Wet‐Adhesive Cornea Glue Based on Recombinant Human Protein Networks
Natures protein‐based high performance materials e.g. elastin, silk and muscle proteins have been mimicked by a new protein‐hybrid material based on redesigned human partial sequences only, showing high wet‐adhesiveness and elasticity for biomedical applications.

Roles of fibronectin isoforms in neonatal vascular development and matrix integrity [PDF]
Fibronectin (FN) exists in two forms—plasma FN (pFN) and cellular FN (cFN). Although the role of FN in embryonic blood vessel development is well established, its function and the contribution of individual isoforms in early postnatal vascular ...
