Abstract
Synthesis of crosslinked elastin was measured in cultures of pleural mesothelial cells. Results indicate that mesothelial cells are a rich source of crosslinked elastin and may therefore be useful for in vitro studies of this connective tissue component.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
