Pilot study on the effects of preservatives on corneal collagen parameters measured by small angle X-ray scattering analysis

open access: yesBMC Research Notes, 2021
Objective Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) analysis is a sensitive way of determining the ultrastructure of collagen in tissues. Little is known about how parameters measured by SAXS are affected by preservatives commonly used to prevent autolysis. We

Vibrational circular dichroism spectroscopy as a probe for the detection of collagen fibril and fibrillation in solution

open access: yesBiosensors and Bioelectronics: X, 2022
The detection of collagen fibrils and fibrillation is crucial for tissue regeneration, biomedical applications of collagen, and for studying the interaction of small molecules with the collagen fibrils in the development of therapeutics for collagen ...

Stabilization and anomalous hydration of collagen fibril under heating. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: Type I collagen is the most common protein among higher vertebrates. It forms the basis of fibrous connective tissues (tendon, chord, skin, bones) and ensures mechanical stability and strength of these tissues.

Articular cartilage collagen: an irreplaceable framework? [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Cells & Materials, 2006
Adult articular cartilage by dry weight is two-thirds collagen. The collagen has a unique molecular phenotype. The nascent type II collagen fibril is a heteropolymer, with collagen IX molecules covalently linked to the surface and collagen XI forming the

Regional fibronectin and collagen fibril co-assembly directs cell proliferation and microtissue morphology. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The extracellular matrix protein, fibronectin stimulates cells to self-assemble into three-dimensional multicellular structures by a mechanism that requires the cell-dependent conversion of soluble fibronectin molecules into insoluble fibrils ...

Single collagen fibrils isolated from high stress and low stress tendons show differing susceptibility to enzymatic degradation by the interstitial collagenase matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1)

open access: yesMatrix Biology Plus, 2023
Bovine forelimb flexor and extensor tendons serve as a model for examining high stress, energy storing and low stress, positional tendons, respectively. Previous research has shown structural differences between the collagen fibrils of these tissues. The

A Rapid and Convenient Approach to Construct Porous Collagen Membranes via Bioskiving and Sonication-Feasible for Mineralization to Induce Bone Regeneration

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
Porous mineralized collagen membranes efficiently promote bone regeneration. To generate them, we need to fabricate collagen membranes that are porous.
