Mechanical forces regulate the interactions of fibronectin and collagen I in extracellular matrix [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Despite the crucial role of extracellular matrix (ECM) in directing cell fate in healthy and diseased tissues--particularly in development, wound healing, tissue regeneration and cancer--the mechanisms that direct the assembly and regulate hierarchical ...

Additive Manufacturing of Prostheses Using Forest-Based Composites

open access: yesBioengineering, 2020
A custom-made prosthetic product is unique for each patient. Fossil-based thermoplastics are the dominant raw materials in both prosthetic and industrial applications; there is a general demand for reducing their use and replacing them with renewable ...

Dynamic fibrils in H-alpha and C IV

open access: yes, 2006
Aim: To study the interaction of the solar chromosphere with the transition region, in particular active-region jets in the transition region and their relation to chromospheric fibrils. Methods: We carefully align image sequences taken simultaneously in

Uncovering the Mechanism of Aggregation of Human Transthyretin. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The tetrameric thyroxine transport protein transthyretin (TTR) forms amyloid fibrils upon dissociation and monomer unfolding. The aggregation of transthyretin has been reported as the cause of the life-threatening transthyretin amyloidosis.

Ca2+-Induced Cold-Set Gelation of Whey Protein Isolate Fibrils

open access: yesApplied Rheology, 2006
In this paper we describe the rheological behaviour of Ca2+-induced cold-set gels of whey protein mixtures. Cold- set gels are important applications for products with a low thermal stability.

Orientation Matters: Polarization Dependent IR Spectroscopy of Collagen from Intact Tendon Down to the Single Fibril Level

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
Infrared (IR) spectroscopy has been used for decades to study collagen in mammalian tissues. While many changes in the spectral profiles appear under polarized IR light, the absorption bands are naturally broad because of tissue heterogeneity.

Tau and Membranes: Interactions That Promote Folding and Condensation

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Tau misfolding and assembly is linked to a number of neurodegenerative diseases collectively described as tauopathies, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease.

Reinforcement of polymeric structures with asbestos fibrils [PDF]

open access: yes, 1970
Investigation determines structural potential of asbestos fibrils. Methods are developed for dispersing macrofibers of the asbestos into colloidal-sized ultimate fibrils and incorporating these fibrils in matrices without causing ...
