Most abundant in the extracellular matrix are collagens, joined by elastin that confers elastic
recoil to the lung, aorta, and skin. These fibrils are highly resistant to proteolysis but can …

Elastic fibers are an important component of the extracellular matrix, providing stretch,
resilience, and cell interactivity to a broad range of elastic tissues. Elastin makes up the …

In the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, hydrogels are used as
biomaterials to support cell attachment and promote tissue regeneration due to their unique …

Elastic fibers are extracellular components of higher vertebrates and confer elasticity and
resilience to numerous tissues and organs such as large blood vessels, lungs, and skin …

Elastic fibres are insoluble components of the extracellular matrix of dynamic connective
tissues such as skin, arteries, lungs and ligaments. They are laid down during development …

From the cell cytoskeleton to connective tissues, fibrous networks are ubiquitous in
metazoan life as the key promoters of mechanical strength, support and integrity. In recent …

Elastic fibers are an essential component of the extracellular matrix where they provide
structural integrity and elastic recoil in a number of important tissues. A major constituent of …

Collagen and elastin networks make up the majority of the extracellular matrix in many
organs, such as the skin. The mechanisms which are involved in the maintenance of …

Elastin provides structural integrity, biological cues and persistent elasticity to a range of
important tissues, including the vasculature and lungs. Its critical importance to normal …

Introduction: Genetically engineered biomaterials are useful for controlled delivery owing to
their rational design, tunable structure–function, biocompatibility, degradability and target …
