Structural Protein Function01:56

Structural Protein Function

30.0K
Structural proteins are a category of proteins responsible for functions ranging from cell shape and movement to providing support to major structures such as bones, cartilage, hair, and muscles. This group includes proteins such as collagen, actin, myosin, and keratin.
Collagen, the most abundant protein in mammals, is found throughout the body. In connective tissue, such as skin, ligaments, and tendons, it provides tensile strength and elasticity.  In bones and teeth, it mineralizes to...

Fruit Development, Structure, and Function

25.4K
Fruits form from a mature flower ovary. As seeds develop from the ovules contained within, the ovary wall undergoes a series of complex changes to form fruit. In some fruits, such as soybeans, the ovary wall dries; in other fruits, such as grapes, it remains fleshy. In some cases, organs other than the ovary contribute to fruit formation; such fruits are called accessory fruits.

Consider an arbitrary truss structure composed of diagonal, vertical, and horizontal members fixed to the wall. To calculate the force acting on members CB, GB, and GH, method of sections can be used. The loads and lengths of the horizontal and vertical members are known parameters, as shown in the figure.

Consider a symmetrical roof truss structure, composed of vertical, diagonal, and horizontal members. The length of each horizontal member is 4 m. The lengths of the vertical members FB and HD are 4 m, while the length of member GC is 6 m. The loads acting at joints F, G, and H are 2 kN, while those at joints A and E are 1 kN.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Cardiovascular Research
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • The pathophysiology of aortic aneurysms (AA) remains poorly understood.
  • Current research limitations include the use of static cell cultures, missing crucial cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions.
  • Studying intact aortic tissue ex vivo is essential for understanding AA development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel in vitro method for extended preservation of human aortic wall sections.
  • To enable the study of pathophysiological processes in aortic aneurysms (AA) using preserved tissue.
  • To assess the viability and cell types within cultured aortic tissue over extended periods.

Main Methods:

  • Intraoperatively harvested, live aortic specimens were sectioned into 150 μm slices.
  • Aortic sections were cultured, and viability was assessed using immunofluorescence up to 92 days.
  • Cell types were characterized via immunostaining; enzymatically digested tissues were analyzed for cell type and viability at 14 days.

Main Results:

  • Aortic wall sections maintained viability up to 62 days with protocol optimization.
  • Smooth muscle cells, leukocytes, and macrophages were identified in AA sections.
  • Enzymatically digested tissues showed diverse cell types with up to 75% viability at 14 days.
  • New cell proliferation was observed at 92 days, indicating long-term tissue potential.

Conclusions:

  • The developed protocol allows for extended ex vivo preservation of human aortic tissue, up to at least 62 days.
  • This method provides a viable source of single cells from digested tissues for further analysis.
  • The protocol establishes a suitable ex vivo model for discovering and investigating pathways in human aneurysmal aortic tissue.
