New insights into elastic fiber assembly.

Birth defects research. Part C, Embryo today : reviews - 1 Dec 2007

Wagenseil Jessica E, Mecham Robert P

Abstract excerpt

Elastic fibers provide recoil to tissues that undergo repeated stretch, such as the large arteries and lung. These large extracellular matrix (ECM) structures contain numerous components, and our understanding of elastic fiber assembly is changing as we learn more about the various molecules associated with the assembly process. The main components of elastic fibers are elastin and microfibrils. Elastin makes up...
