The Role of Lipid Environment in Ganglioside GM1-Induced Amyloid β Aggregation
Membranes, 2020 Ganglioside GM1 is the most common brain ganglioside enriched in plasma membrane regions known as lipid rafts or membrane microdomains. GM1 participates in many modulatory and communication functions associated with the development, differentiation, and ...

The utiquity and many roles of exopolymers (EPS) in aquatic systems
Scientia Marina, 2004 Exopolymers (EPS) are produced by unicellular and multicellular organisms. They consist largely of polysaccharides that hydrate rapidly on contact with water and link to form gels.

An anisotropic microsphere-based approach for fiber orientation adaptation in soft tissue [PDF]
, 2011 Evolutionary processes in biological tissue, such as adaptation or remodeling, represent an enterprising area of research. In this paper, we present a multiscale model for the remodeling of fibered structures, such as bundles of collagen fibrils.

A viscoelastic theory of turbulent fluid permeated with fibril magnetic fields [PDF]
, 2003 The solar convection zone is a turbulent plasma interacting with a magnetic field. Its magnetic field is often described as fibrillar since it consists of slender flux tubes occupying a small fraction of the total volume.

Structure-mechanics relationships of collagen fibrils in the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Mouse model [PDF]
, 2015 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 ...

Evaluation of Peptide/Protein Self-Assembly and Aggregation by Spectroscopic Methods
Molecules, 2020 The self-assembly of proteins is an essential process for a variety of cellular functions including cell respiration, mobility and division. On the other hand, protein or peptide misfolding and aggregation is related to the development of Parkinson’s ...
