Abstract:
Traditional histological staining techniques, as well as elastin-specific antibodies and electron microscopy, have been used to assess the distribution of elastin within the peripheral nerve. The location of the elastin identified by the VerHoeff-VanGiesen or Weigert stains has been shown to coincide with the unambiguous identilication of elastin by immunospecific stains and electron microscopy. Elastin is located in all three connective layers of the peripheral nerve. Thick elastic fibres, consisting of amorphous elastiu protein and microfibrils, are located consistently in the perineurium an

Abstract:
The formation of a mature elastic fiber is thought to proceed by the deposition of elastin on pre-existing microfibrils (10-12 nm in diameter). Immunohistochemical evidence has suggested that in developing tissues such as aorta and ligamentum nuchae, small amounts of elastin are associated with microfibrils but are not detected at the light microscopic and ultrastructural levels. Dermal tissue contains a complex elastic fiber system consisting of three types of fibers--oxytalan, elaunin, and elastic--which are believed to differ in their relative contents of microfibrils and elastin.

Abstract:
Human tissues must be elastic, much like other materials that work under continuous loads without losing functionality. The elasticity of tissues is provided by elastin, a unique protein of the extracellular matrix (ECM) of mammals. Its function is to endow soft tissues with low stiffness, high and fully reversible extensibility, and efficient elastic–energy storage. Depending on the mechanical functions, the amount and distribution of elastin-rich elastic fibers vary between and within tissues and organs. The article presents a concise overview of the mechanical properties of elastin and its

Elastic fibers, made of elastin (90%) and fibrillin-rich microfibrils (10%), are the key extracellular components, which endow the arteries with elasticity.

Abstract:
Elastic fibers are extracellular macromolecules that provide resilience and elastic recoil to elastic tissues and organs in vertebrates. They are composed of an elastin core surrounded by a mantle of fibrillin-rich microfibrils and are essentially produced during a relatively short period around birth in mammals. Thus, elastic fibers have to resist many physical, chemical, and enzymatic constraints occurring throughout their lives, and their high stability can be attributed to the elastin protein. Various pathologies, called elastinopathies, are linked to an elastin deficiency, such as non-syn

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. Secreted tropoelastin is delivered to the microfibrils by fibulin-5/developmental arteries and neural crest epidermal growth factor-like (DANCE) and undergoes self-association. Then, tropoelastin assembles around the microfibrils, growing into elastin and elastic fibres by lysyl oxidase (LOX)- or LOX-like (LOXL)-mediated cross-linking. The pres

The degradation of elastic fibers is a fundamental characteristic of pulmonary emphysema, resulting in the release of proinflammatory elastin peptides. The findings discussed in this paper support the hypothesis that these peptides act as carriers of disease, interacting with elastin receptor complexes that promote inflammation, elastic fiber damage, and airspace enlargement. Studies from our laboratory show that the breakdown of these fibers is significantly enhanced by intratracheal instillation of elastin peptides in a lipopolysaccharide-induced model of acute lung injury.

Elastic fibers are composed of two main components; elastin and microfibrils. Microfibrils are composed primarily of fibrillin-1 and provide a scaffold unto which tropoelastin monomers assemble.

Abstract:
This report describes a program with the aim of improving discrimination of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) from non-SCC in data from the Elastic Wave (EW) in-line inspection tool. A major component of the work reported here was to create a database of features reported from Elastic Wave inspections. This allows consistent information to be collated for excavated features, as a basis for characterization of the EW tool's response to particular features. Following completion of the work reported here the database was transferred to Pipeline Integrity International, vendors of the Elastic Wave s
