Zur Morphologie des Corpus ciliare und seiner Anhangsgebilde im Licht- und Rasterelektronenmikroskop bei verschiedenen Vogelarten
… species-specific differences in the content of elastic fibres in the ciliary body could be found. Gallinaceous birds, day-active predatory birds and the cormorant use lenticular accommodation. Their ciliary body therefore contains many elastic fibres, while in night-active predatory birds, which …

Characterisation of novel matrix-binding interactions for latent transforming growth factor-β-binding protein-2 (LTBP-2), with emphasis on heparin and heparan sulphate proteoglycans.
Elastic fibres are important components of the extracellular matrices, being composed of an elastin core and fibrillin-microfibrils around the periphery. Elastic fibre formation is a complex developmentally regulated process whereby fibrillin-microfibrils act as templates for the deposition of …

Impact of mechanical signals on human foetal lung cell differentiation
… trachea and smooth muscle in the bronchi, versus elastic fibres in the alveoli. Considering this, as well as the clinical relevance of stiffness in lung diseases, I hypothesised that tissue stiffness can play a role in defining cellular fate. I measured the stiffness of human embryonic lung slices …

Novel clinical and etiopathogenetic findings in Pseudoxanthoma elasticum
… the archetypes of such disease is pseudoxanthoma elasticum or PXE, in which ectopic mineralization of elastic fibres causes skin, ocular and cardiovascular complications. Despite its identification more than two centuries ago, PXE has – as many genetic disorders – always been surrounded by a haze …
