| Our study underscores the importance of elastin fragmentation in the vessel wall as an accelerator of atherosclerosis. |
| They appear as a result of a disorganized collagen network and the rupture of dermal elastin fibres. |
| Its high fiber content of collagen and elastin gives the skin its elasticity. |
| Other proteins and glycoproteins such as elastin and fibronectin are also present but have not been well characterised. |
| Resilin is a member of a family of elastic proteins that includes elastin, as well as gluten, gliadin, abductin and spider silks. |
| A variety of white blood cells called neutrophils contain elastase, an enzyme that can digest elastin. |
