Mechanical behavior of osteoporotic bone at sub-lamellar length scales [PDF]
Osteoporosis is a disease known to promote bone fragility but the effect on the mechanical properties of bone material, which is independent of geometric effects, is particularly unclear.

Nonenzymatic Glycosylation Products on Collagen Covalently Trap Low-Density Lipoprotein [PDF]
Advanced nonenzymatic glycosylation products capable of cross-linking proteins accumulate on collagen in vivo in proportion to time-averaged blood glucose concentration. In this report, we have evaluated the ability of advanced nonenzymatic glycosylation productsformed on collagen in vitro to covalently bind low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in a manner ...

Structure-mechanics relationships of collagen fibrils in the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Mouse model [PDF]
The collagen molecule, which is the building block of collagen fibrils, is a triple helix of two α1(I) chains and one α2(I) chain. However, in the severe mouse model of osteogenesis imperfecta (OIM), deletion of the COL1A2 gene results in the ...

Alginate Conjugation Increases Toughness in Auricular Chondrocyte Seeded Collagen Hydrogels
Current auricular cartilage replacements for pediatric microtia fail to address the need for long-term integration and neocartilage formation. While collagen hydrogels have been successful in fostering neocartilage formation, the toughness and ...

Preconditioning of mesenchymal stromal cells with low-intensity ultrasound: influence on chondrogenesis and directed SOX9 signaling pathways [PDF]
Background: Continuous low-intensity ultrasound (cLIUS) facilitates the chondrogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in the absence of exogenously added transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ) by upregulating the expression of ...

COX-2 modulates mammary tumor progression in response to collagen density. [PDF]
High breast density is linked to an increased risk of breast cancer, and correlates with changes in collagen. In a mouse model of mammary carcinoma in the context of increased collagen deposition, the MMTV-PyMT/Col1a1 (tm1jae) , there is accelerated mammary tumor formation and progression.

Low Density Lipoproteins Modulate Collagen Metabolism in Fibroblasts
High levels of low-density lipoprotein are associated with atherosclerosis, and myocardial and arterial remodeling. We postulated that low-density lipoprotein influences collagen synthesis and degradation in fibroblasts as a potential mechanism of tissue remodeling.

Tissue engineering a fetal membrane [PDF]
The aim of this study was to construct an artificial fetal membrane (FM) by combination of human amniotic epithelial stem cells (hAESCs) and a mechanically enhanced collagen scaffold containing encapsulated human amniotic stromal fibroblasts (hASFs ...
