The stumbling block in lung repair of emphysema: elastic fiber assembly.

Proceedings of the American Thoracic Society - 1 Jul 2006

Shifren Adrian, Mecham Robert P

Abstract excerpt

The mechanical properties of the lung are largely determined by the connective tissue networks laid down during development. The macromolecules most important for lung mechanics and structural integrity are collagen, elastin, and proteoglycans. Members of the fibrillar collagen gene family provid...
