DOI: 10.1111/jocs.13723
Abstract: Fibroelastomas are themost common tumors involving themitral valve apparatus and may be single or multiple, originate from the septum of the left ventricle (LV) in proximity to the valve, and be associated with LV outflow… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0267131
Abstract: Elastin is present in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of connective tissues, and its mechanical properties are well documented. In Marfan syndrome, however, the inability to properly code for the protein fibrillin-1 prematurely leads to the… read more here.
