Mechanical properties of collagen fibrils [PDF]
, 2007 The formation of collagen fibers from staggered subfibrils still lacks a universally accepted model. Determining the mechanical properties of single collagen fibrils ( diameter 50 - 200 nm) provides new insights into collagen structure. In this work, the

Native Autoantigen Complex Detects Pemphigoid Autoantibodies
JID Innovations, 2023 Pemphigoid diseases are a group of autoimmune disorders characterized by subepidermal blistering in the skin and mucosa. Among them, mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) autoantibodies are characterized by targeting multiple molecules in the hemidesmosomes ...

Increase in types IV and VI collagen in cherry haemangiomas [PDF]
, 1992 The capillaries in cherry haemangiomas show perivascular hyalinized sheaths. In order to clarify the nature of this sheath material, the extracellular matrix of cherry haemangiomas from 20 normal volunteers (age range 30-64 years) was investigated using ...

Post-transcriptional mechanisms in type XVII collagen synthesis [PDF]
, 2006 In chapter 1 we started with making an inventory of type XVII collagen directed research during the last three decades; on its role in normal healthy tissue and even more on its role in the pathogenesis in a range of diseases. We concluded that, although

Effect of Low-Temperature Plasma Jet on Thermal Stability and Physical Structure of Type I Collagen [PDF]
, 2012 This work is devoted to the characterization of type I collagen treated by a low-temperature plasma jet generated in ambient air to determine whether the resulting fibrous material is structurally preserved or reinforced.

C-terminal truncation impairs glycosylation of transmembrane collagen XVII and leads to intracellular accumulation [PDF]
, 2006 Collagen XVII, a type II transmembrane protein in hemidesmosomes, is involved in the anchorage of stratified epithelia to the underlying mesenchyme. Its functions are regulated by ectodomain shedding, and its genetic defects lead to epidermal detachment ...

Immunohistochemical localization of collagen types I and VI in human skin wounds [PDF]
, 1996 A total of 74 human skin wounds were investigated and collagen types I and VI were localized in the wound area by immunohistochemistry. Collagen type I appeared in the form of ramifying string-like structures after approximately 5–6 days, but positive ...

Collagen XVII Participates in Keratinocyte Adhesion to Collagen IV, and in p38MAPK-Dependent Migration and Cell Signaling [PDF]
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2009 Collagen XVII (COL17) participates in keratinocyte adhesion and possibly migration, as COL17 defects disrupt keratinocyte-basal lamina adhesion and underlie the disease non-Herlitz junctional epidermolysis bullosa. Using small interference RNA (siRNA) to knock down COL17 expression in HaCaT cells, we assessed cell characteristics, including adhesion ...
