Evolutionary Patterns of Collagen Fiber Arrangement and Calcification in Atherosclerosis [PDF]
ResearchCollagen is a major structural component of human tissues, and its spatial arrangement is critical for maintaining tissue mechanical integrity and regulating cell behavior. In atherosclerosis (AS), collagen fiber arrangement has been implicated in plaque

siRNA Treatment Enhances Collagen Fiber Formation in Tissue-Engineered Meniscus via Transient Inhibition of Aggrecan Production [PDF]
BioengineeringThe complex collagen network of the native meniscus and the gradient of the density and alignment of this network through the meniscal enthesis is essential for the proper mechanical function of these tissues.

A method to analyze the influence of mechanical strain on dermal collagen morphologies
Scientific Reports, 2021 Collagen fibers and their orientation play a major role in the mechanical behavior of soft biological tissue such as skin. Here, we present a proof-of-principle study correlating mechanical properties with collagen fiber network morphologies. A dedicated

Studies on Properties of Collagen Fibers
Nihon Chikusan Gakkaiho, 1967 In this experiment the recovery of collagen fiber from dried hide was tried. The process of the recovery of co11agen fiber was as follows. 1. Dried hide→Wet back→Liming and deliming→Enzyme treatment→Acetone treatment→Seating→Fiber disintegration→Collagen. fiber (Process 1). 2.

Rapid Quantification of 3D Collagen Fiber Alignment and Fiber Intersection Correlations with High Sensitivity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Metastatic cancers aggressively reorganize collagen in their microenvironment. For example, radially orientated collagen fibers have been observed surrounding tumor cell clusters in vivo. The degree of fiber alignment, as a consequence of this remodeling,
