Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Collagen XII, a fibril-associated collagen with interrupted triple helices (FACIT), influences fibrillogenesis in numerous tissues. In addition to this extracellular function, collagen XII also directly regulates cellular function. Collagen XII is widely

Heterogeneous structure and dynamics of water in a hydrated collagen microfibril [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Collagen type I is well-known for its outstanding mechanical properties which it inherits from its hierarchical structure. Collagen type I fibrils may be viewed as an heterogeneous material made of protein, macromolecules (such as glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans) and water. Water content modulates the properties of these heterofibrils.

The influence of AGEs and enzymatic cross-links on the mechanical properties of collagen fibrils [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Cross-links are considered to be a key component of collagen fibrils as they can change the fibrillar behavior in various ways. Advanced-Glycation Endproducts (AGEs), one particular type of cross-links, have been shown to accumulate and impair the mechanical properties of collageneous tissues, whereas enzymatic cross-links (ECLs) are known for ...

Confined compression of collagen hydrogels [PDF]
, 2013 Reconstituted collagen hydrogels are often used for in vitro studies of cell-matrix interaction and as scaffolds for tissue engineering. Understanding the mechanical and transport behaviours of collagen hydrogels is therefore extremely important, albeit ...

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 During embryonic development, tendons transform into a hypocellular tissue with robust tensile load-bearing capabilities. Previous work suggests that this mechanical transformation is due to increases in collagen fibril length and is dependent on ...
