Experimental session at SOLEIL DISCO SRCD beamline

Over a three-day period in May 2024, team members explored the interactions between elastin peptides and reconstituted lipid membranes using synchrotron radiation circular dichroism spectroscopy. This work was carried out as part of the PELICAN thesis project.

Atomic force microscopy to study the evolution of elasticity of elastic fibers during vascular aging

In this study published in 2021 in the journal NANOSCALE, researchers from the "Matrix Aging and Vascular Remodeling" team used atomic force microscopy technologies to study the evolution of elasticity of elastic fibers, at the molecular level, during aging in mice. Valuable new information that helps to better understand the evolution of vascular stiffness associated with normal and pathological aging...
