Adamtsl2 deletion results in bronchial fibrillin microfibril accumulation and bronchial epithelial dysplasia – a novel mouse model providing insights into geleophysic dysplasia [PDF]

open access: goldDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2015
Mutations in the secreted glycoprotein ADAMTSL2 cause recessive geleophysic dysplasia (GD) in humans and Musladin–Lueke syndrome (MLS) in dogs. GD is a severe, often lethal, condition presenting with short stature, brachydactyly, stiff skin, joint ...

Influence of defects on the tensile behaviour of flax fibres: Cellulose microfibrils evolution by synchrotron X-ray diffraction and finite element modelling

open access: goldComposites Part C: Open Access, 2022
The cellulose microfibril realignment of unitary flax fibres with contrasted density of structural defects, which are also known as dislocations and defined as zones of microstructure heterogeneities, was investigated upon tensile testing by means of X ...

Collagen VI microfibril structure reveals mechanism for molecular assembly and clustering of inherited pathogenic mutations [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications
Collagen VI links the cell surface to the extracellular matrix to provide mechanical strength to most mammalian tissues, and is linked to human diseases including muscular dystrophy, fibrosis, cardiovascular disease and osteoarthritis.

The Biomechanics of Fibrillin Microfibrils: Lessons from the Ciliary Zonule [PDF]

open access: yesCells
Marfan syndrome is an inherited connective tissue disorder that affects the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and ocular systems. It is caused by pathogenic variants in the fibrillin-1 gene (FBN1).

SANS investigation of fungal loosenins reveals substrate-dependent impacts of protein action on the inter-microfibril arrangement of cellulosic substrates [PDF]

open access: yesBiotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts
Background Microbial expansin-related proteins include fungal loosenins, which have been previously shown to disrupt cellulose networks and enhance the enzymatic conversion of cellulosic substrates.

Isolation of cellulose microfibrils - An enzymatic approach

open access: goldBioResources, 2006
Isolation methods and applications of cellulose microfibrils are expanding rapidly due to environmental benefits and specific strength properties, especially in bio-composite science. In this research, we have success-fully developed and explored a novel

Fabrication of Ionic Cellulose Nanofiber Composites by Electrospinning Cellulose Microfibril-Gel-Dispersions in Poly(vinyl Alcohol) Solution

open access: yesJournal of Natural Fibers, 2022
In this study, we propose a fabrication method to obtain composites of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/ionic cellulose nanofibers, in which a fiber structure is manipulated through a reconstruction of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidinyl-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO ...

Corneal stroma microfibrils [PDF]

open access: yesExperimental Eye Research, 2015
Elastic tissue was first described well over a hundred years ago and has since been identified in nearly every part of the body. In this review, we examine elastic tissue in the corneal stroma with some mention of other ocular structures which have been more thoroughly described in the past.
