The solubility of α-elastin has been applied to construction of elastin-mimetic biomaterials.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Oxygen transporter, NO scavenger
Oxygen transporter. The Fe2+/Fe3+ balance is a physiological indicator of blood oxygenation; deoxygenated hemoglobin accessorizes a feedback loop by reducing nitrite to NO, a vasodilator which enhances blood flow to oxygen-deprived tissues.
Caution
Since native hemoglobin is readily oxidized in air, these preparations may be predominantly methemoglobin.
In conventional functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), systemic physiological fluctuations evoked by a body's motion and psychophysiological changes often contaminate fNIRS signals. We propose a novel method for separating functional and systemic signals based on their hemodynamic differences. Considering their physiological

To investigate whether changes in hemodynamics induced by Valsalva maneuver can be exploited for detecting and characterizing breast lesions by optical mammography. 30 women underwent optical imaging of the breast using a DYNOT 232 system and performing Valsalva maneuvers prior
Only a few studies have examined the relationships between affective symptoms, cognitive function (e.g. verbal fluency), quality of life (QOL), and brain activation in a nonclinical population. The aim of the present study was to assess these relationships and examine

The necessity for a non-invasive and inexpensive imaging modality to both diagnose and monitor treatment response has lead to renewed interest in the potential of optical imaging. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of diffuse optical
Journal of biomedical optics, 17(10), 105005-105005 (2012-12-12)
Noninvasive near infrared spectroscopy measurements were performed to monitor cyanide (CN) poisoning and recovery in the brain region and in foreleg muscle simultaneously, and the effects of a novel CN antidote, sulfanegen sodium, on tissue hemoglobin oxygenation changes were compared
