Elastic fibres.
Elastic fibres are essential extracellular matrix macromolecules comprising an elastin core surrounded by a mantle of fibrillin-rich microfibrils. They endow connective tissues such as blood vessels, lungs and skin with the critical properties of elasticity and resilience. The biology of elastic fibres is complex because they have multiple components, a tightly regulated developmental depositio...
متن کاملPreferential binding of lysozyme to elastic fibres in pulmonary emphysema.
BACKGROUND Lysozyme is increased in inflammatory reactions and is a component of the extracellular matrix, but its possible role in lung diseases such as emphysema and interstitial fibrosis has not been investigated. METHODS To characterise differences in lysozyme content among normal, emphysematous, and fibrotic human lungs, tissue sections obtained from necropsy specimens were immunostained...
متن کاملOn the Presence of New Elastic Fibres in Tumors
The question of the participation of elastic fibres in the hyperplasia of connective tissue has recently aroused a good deal of attention, especially since the discovery of differential stains has made possible the recognition of very delicate elastic fibres. Sclerotic bloodvessels seem to have been first and most extensively studied, with a view to ascertaining not only the fate of the elastic...
متن کاملCongo blue: a rapid stain for elastic fibres.
7Edberg SC, Bottonbley CJ and Gam K. Use of sodium polyanethol sulfonate to selectively inhibit aminoglycoside and polymyxin antibiotics in a rapid blood level antibiotic assay. There are numerous empirical methods for staining elastic fibres.' Most require relatively lengthy procedures which involve overnight incubation, and are therefore not adapted to simultaneous evaluation with the corresp...
متن کاملFunction-structure relationship of elastic arteries in evolution: from microfibrils to elastin and elastic fibres.
Evolution of species has led to the appearance of circulatory systems including blood vessels and one or more pulsatile pumps, typically resulting in a low-pressurised open circulation in most invertebrates and a high-pressurised closed circulation in vertebrates. In both open and closed circulations, the large elastic arteries proximal to the heart damp out the pulsatile flow and blood pressur...
