Self-assembly of elastin-based peptides into the ECM: the importance of integrins and the elastin binding protein in elastic fiber assembly.

abstract：:(1,3)(1,4)-β-D-Glucan (mixed-linkage glucan or MLG), a characteristic hemicellulose in primary cell walls of grasses, was investigated to determine both its role in cell walls and its interaction with cellulose and other cell wall polysaccharides in vitro. Binding isotherms showed that MLG adsorption onto microcrystal...
