Journal 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 ...

Nanomechanics of collagen microfibrils [PDF]
Muscle Ligaments and Tendons Journal, 2013 Collagen constitutes one third of the human proteome, providing mechanical stability, elasticity and strength to organisms and is thus the prime construction material in biology. Collagen is also the dominating material in the extracellular matrix where its stiffness controls cell differentiation, growth and pathology.

Collagen Structure-Function Mapping Informs Applications for Regenerative Medicine
Bioengineering, 2020 Type I collagen, the predominant protein of vertebrates, assembles into fibrils that orchestrate the form and function of bone, tendon, skin, and other tissues.

Corneal stroma microfibrils [PDF]
Experimental 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.

Microfibril-associated protein 5 and the regulation of skin scar formation
Scientific Reports, 2023 Many factors regulate scar formation, which yields a modified extracellular matrix (ECM). Among ECM components, microfibril-associated proteins have been minimally explored in the context of skin wound repair.

Simulation of Adhesive Contact of Soft Microfibrils
Lubricants, 2020 Adhesive contact between a flat brush structure with deformable microfibrils and an elastic half space is numerically simulated. The stiffness of pillars is modeled by linear springs.

Fibrillin microfibrils in bone physiology [PDF]
Matrix Biology, 2016 The severe skeletal abnormalities associated with Marfan syndrome (MFS) and congenital contractural arachnodactyly (CCA) underscore the notion that fibrillin assemblies (microfibrils and elastic fibers) play a critical role in bone formation and function in spite of representing a low abundance component of skeletal matrices.
