Microcrimped collagen fiber-elastin composites.
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 کاملCollagen 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...
متن کاملA biomaterial composed of collagen and solubilized elastin enhances angiogenesis and elastic fiber formation without calcification.
Elastin is the prime protein in elastic tissues that contributes to elasticity of, for example, lung, aorta, and skin. Upon injury, elastic fibers are not readily replaced, which hampers tissue regeneration. Incorporation of solubilized elastin (hydrolyzed insoluble elastin fibers or elastin peptides) in biomaterials may improve regeneration, because solubilized elastin is able to promote proli...
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 کاملFiber reinforced plastic composites using recycled materials
This work investigates the feasibility of using recycled high density polyethylene (rHDPE), recycled polypropylene (rPP) and old newsprint fiber (ONP) to manufacture fiber reinforced composites. The boards were made through air-forming and hot press. The effects of the fiber loading and coupling agent content on tensile, flexural, internal bond properties and water absorption and thickness swel...
