This produces an elasticfiber intermediate in stiffness between twine and whalebone.
2
Fibulin-4 is an extracellular matrix protein essential for elasticfiber formation.
3
The functional relationship between ABCC6 and elasticfiber calcification is unknown.
4
Mechanical forces associated with cell movement help shape the forming, extracellular elasticfiber network.
5
Direct binding of the drug to collagen precursors also affects elasticfiber assemblage and maturation.
1
The lungs were removed and examined for defects in elastinfiber formation.
2
Elastinfiber density is unchanged in the glaucomatous nerve heads that we studied.
3
PGS nanofibers are an inexpensive and synthetic material that mimics the chemical and mechanical environment provided by elastinfibers.
4
Its normal circulating concentration functions to maintain the elasticity of the lung by preventing the hydrolytic destruction of elastinfibers.
5
It may also partly be due to an increase of elastinfibers in the dermis through the stimulation of fibroblast activity.
Usage of elastic fibre in anglès
1
Still there is an age-dependent increase of elasticfibre surface density, mostly due to an alteration of the fibres.
2
Any number of these are strung at pleasure upon the long elasticfibre that traverses the branches of the cocoanut tree.
3
Taken together, we conclude that domains 16-17 are important for self-association of tropoelastin and elasticfibre formation.
4
Heterozygote carriers had changes in dermal elasticfibre organization, morphology and labelling midway between those seen in PXE skin and normal skin.
5
This study is the first to discover that domains of elastin play an essential role in elasticfibre formation by facilitating homotypic interactions.
6
Dermal hypoechogenicity in PXE could be related to high hydration of connective tissue due to the presence of glycosaminoglycans despite elasticfibre mineralization.
7
These were surrounded by extracellular sheaths and encircled by elasticfibres.
8
With increasing age elasticfibres in human skin are progressively lysed and skin elasticity is also decreasing.
9
Extracellular elasticfibres provide mechanical elasticity to tissues and contribute towards the processes of organ remodelling by affecting cell-cell signalling.
10
In the case of the chameleon, it appears to be elasticfibres in the tongue itself that help it to unfurl so rapidly.
