Collagen and elastin fibres.
PROCOLLAGEN-COLLAGEN CONVERSION The first extracellular step after secretion is the proteolytic cleavage of these Nand C-terminal nonhelical regions of procollagen (Bornstein, 1974). The actual location of cleavage of these extension peptides is not known, but they are probably removed during the formation of the fibre and may take part in fibrogenesis. The intermediates in the conversion of pr...

Adv. Mater. 2010, 22, 2041–2044 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag G T IO N Emerging biomaterials based upon analogues of native extracellular matrix proteins provide an opportunity to create protein scaffolds that mimic tissue mechanical behavior and guide cellular responses. However, in order to reproduce macroscale tissue properties, protein analogues must be endowed with appropriate microstructural feat...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinase interactions with collagen and elastin
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 succumb to a minority of the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Considerable inroads to understanding how such MMPs move to the susceptible sites in collagen and then unwind the triple helix of collagen mono...
متن کاملHighly Aligned Elastin Incorporated Collagen Fibers for Vascular Tissue Engineering
Introduction: Coronary artery disease caused by atherosclerosis is a significant health problem worldwide. In the United States alone, over 370,000 people die from the disease each year [1]. The current gold standard for the treatment of coronary artery disease is the transplantation of autologous blood vessels. However, lack of sufficient donor tissue and donor-site morbidity are major limitat...
متن کاملElectrospinning collagen and elastin: preliminary vascular tissue engineering.
Significant challenges must be overcome before the true benefit and economic impact of vascular tissue engineering can be fully realized. Toward that end, we have pioneered the electrospinning of micro- and nano-fibrous scaffoldings from the natural polymers collagen and elastin and applied these to development of biomimicking vascular tissue engineered constructs. The vascular wall composition...
