Heterogeneity of microfibrils: role of thrombospondin-microfibrils in the thrombogenicity of the subendothelium.

Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie III, Sciences de la vie, 1996
We report the results of an immunogold electron microscopical analysis on microfibrils from the arterial subendothelium showing that thrombospondin (TSP) is present on 40 nm-diameter structures joining 8-10 nm-diameter microfibrils containing fibrillin. They differ from type VI collagen which forms 3-5 nm-diameter microfibrils.

Colchicine and microfibril orientation

Protoplasma, 1976
Investigations on the mechanism of orientation of the cellulose microfibrils of the green algaOocystis solitaria have been carried out. This organism demonstrates easily observable and highly ordered microfibrils in its wall, which are arranged parallel to one another and regularly alternate at 90‡ from layer to layer of which there are approximately ...

Extraction of bamboo microfibrils and development of biocomposites based on polyhydroxybutyrate and bamboo microfibrils

Journal of Composite Materials, 2010
This investigation deals with the detailed procedure for the extraction of microfibrils from raw bamboo. The microfibrils obtained from raw bamboo were characterized using scanning electron microscope and the average diameter of the fibrils was found to be 10 μm.

Proteomic analysis of fibrillin‐rich microfibrils

PROTEOMICS, 2006
Abstract MS has been used to investigate the composition of fibrillin‐rich microfibrils from non‐elastic and elastic tissues, and to compare fibrillin‐1 tryptic fingerprints derived from whole zonules, microfibrils and recombinant fibrillin‐1.

Immunolocalization of microfibril and microfibril-associated proteins in the subendothelial matrix of the developing mouse aorta

Journal of Cell Science, 1994
ABSTRACT In the developing aorta, endothelial cell connecting filaments extend from the abluminal surface of the endothelial cell to the subjacent elastic lamina. The connecting filaments are in alignment with intracellular stress fibers and are oriented parallel to the direction of blood flow.

A note on microfibrils in polyethylene

Journal of Macromolecular Science, Part B, 1974
Abstract The results of diffraction (low-angle scattering of X-rays and electrons) and electron microscopy study show a significant qualitative coincidence in studies of the morphology of oriented polyethylene films obtained from polyethylene single crystal mats. The morphology approximates the ideal description of a microfibrillar structure.

Organization and Biomechanical Properties of Fibrillin Microfibrils

2004
The evolution and function of multicellular organisms has required tissue flexibility and the necessity to withstand stretch. These properties underpin movement and allow responses to changing environments. The elastic fibre is a bio-composite material composed of two insoluble extracellular matrix assemblies; fibrillin-rich microfibrils and elastin ...

Packing of microfibrils in collagen

Journal of Molecular Biology, 1974
Abstract X-ray diffraction data obtained from rat tail tendon can be indexed on a tetragonal unit cell with a = 2 × 38·47 A , c = 4 × 670 A , space group P41 or P43, in which all the intermicrofibril contacts are quasi-equivalent.

Process for the production of microfibrillated cellulose and produced microfibrillated cellulose

2010
A process for producing microfibrillated cellulose comprises providing a slurry comprising cellulosic fibers, treating the slurry with an enzyme, mechanically treating the slurry so that the fibers are disintegrated wherein the mechanical treatment and the treatment with the enzyme is performed simultaneously in a single treatment step.

Microfibrils from the Arterial Subendothelium

1999
Microfibrillar structures of the subendothelium are represented by either type VI collagen or elastin-associated microfibrils which are also referred to as fibrillin-containing microfibrils. These structures are present throughout the subendothelium irrespective of the presence of elastin.
