Topics include the structure, ultrastructure and function of elastin; elastin regulation; elastin's role in aging, lung development and disease and atherosclerosis; as well as related aspects of pharmacology and nutrition.Ciba Foundation symposium ;192.ElastinCongressesElastic tissueDiseasesMolecular aspectsCongressesConnective tissuesElastinElastic tissueDiseasesMolecular aspects574.82611.0182611/.0182Chadwick Derek91632Goode Jamie283336Ciba Foundation.Symposium on the Molecular Biology and Pathology of Elastic Tissues(1994 :Nairobi, Kenya)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910831001103321The molecular biology and pathology of elastic tissues4048681UNINA
