Fibulin‐5 accelerates elastic fibre assembly in human skin fibroblasts
13 Mar 2008
Abstract excerpt
Fibulin-5 null mice display abnormalities in the elastic fibres in the dermis. We postulated, therefore, that fibulin-5 might be a regulator of elastic fibre assembly and stability. To clarify the role of fibulin-5 in elastic fibre formation, we employed in vitro systems that allowed increasing expression of elastic fibre components by gene transduction using retroviral vector constructs. First, the human...
