Mention the words' arthropod cuticle'to most biologists and they usually provoke a glazed
expression. This is because the cuticle is commonly regarded as an inert substance. It is …

The elastic properties of many tissues such as the lung, dermis, and large blood vessels are
due to the presence of elastic fibers in the extracellular space. These fibers have been …

Numerous physical characterizations clearly demonstrate that the polypentapeptide of
elastin (Val 1-Pro 2-Gly 3-Val 4-Gly 5) u in water undergoes an inverse temperature …
