Polymorphisms in the human tropoelastin gene modify in vitro self-assembly and mechanical properties of elastin-like polypeptides. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Elastin is a major structural component of elastic fibres that provide properties of stretch and recoil to tissues such as arteries, lung and skin. Remarkably, after initial deposition of elastin there is normally no subsequent turnover of this protein ...

Circulating elastin crosslinking desmosines are associated with arterial wall degradation in older adults with atherosclerosis

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, April 2026.
Circulating desmosines may reflect arterial wall degeneration associated with atherosclerotic disease. Abstract Elastin, an extracellular matrix component that contributes to vascular integrity, is progressively degraded during vascular injury including atherosclerosis.

Plasma‐Polymerized Nanoparticles Presenting Fibrillin‐1 Drive Rapid Re‐Endothelialization of Vascular Grafts

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 9, 6 March 2026.
Commercial vascular grafts are made from ePTFE, a highly hydrophobic, foreign material that fails at a high rate in small‐diameter applications. Plasma polymer nanoparticles (PPN) are a versatile material functionalisation tool, used here to present fibrillin‐1 fragment PF8 on the graft surface.

OPTIMUM METHOD FOR COMMON CARP ELASTIN EXTRACTION AND THE ANTI-OXIDANT ACTIVITY OF ELASTIN ENZYMATIC HYDROLYSATE

The Iraqi Journal of Agricultural science
This study aimed to compare five protocols to optimize elastin purification, where purification protocols for elastin generally result in greatly damaged elastin fibres and this likely influences the biological response. The optimal protocol for elastin

Functional and Structural Characterisation of Mutant Tropoelastin Constructs [PDF]

, 2013
The major component of elastic fibres is elastin, formed from its soluble precursor, tropoelastin. The tropoelastin nanostructure is characterised by an N-terminal coil region, hinge region, bridge region and C-terminal foot region. Tropoelastin assembly
