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.

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.

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.

The in silico study of the COBRA gene family in sugarcane related to potential biomass content
Menara Perkebunan, 2022 Sugarcane (Saccharum sp.) is potential as a biofuel and biomaterial source for its high cellulose content. Cellulose is the main constituent of the plant cell wall, as a linear chain arranged in a polysaccharide bundle, called cellulose microfibril.

Buckling of sheared and compressed microfibrils [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2010 In this paper, we study the stability of an initially straight elastic fibril clamped at one end, while the other end is subjected to a constant normal compressive force and a prescribed shear displacement. We found the buckling load of a sheared fibril to be always less than the Euler buckling load. Furthermore, if the end of the fibril loses adhesion,
