PLoS ONE, 2021 The human FBN1 gene encodes fibrillin-1 (FBN1); the main component of the 10-12 nm diameter extracellular matrix microfibrils. Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a common inherited connective tissue disorder, caused by FBN1 mutations.

THE SIZE OF THE CELLULOSE MICROFIBRIL [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 1963 Recently the lateral width of the cellulose microfibril has been estimated as 30 A rather than about 150 to 200 A, by extrapolation of data from model shadowing experiments. The difference was attributed to a layer of metal deposited during shadowing.

Microenvironmental regulation by fibrillin-1. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 Fibrillin-1 is a ubiquitous extracellular matrix molecule that sequesters latent growth factor complexes. A role for fibrillin-1 in specifying tissue microenvironments has not been elucidated, even though the concept that fibrillin-1 provides ...

USING HOMOGENIZATION AND NANOINDENTATION FOR MICROFIBRIL ANGLE DETERMINATION OF SPRUCE
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2017 This paper is concerned with the evaluation of microfibril angle of spruce. The microfibril angle is defined as an inclination of microfibrils from the longitudinal axis, the direction of lumens.

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.

Cellulose Microfibril and Micronized Rubber Modified Asphalt Binder
Fibers, 2021 Cellulose microfibrils (CMFs) and micronized rubber powder (MRP) can be derived from low or negative-cost agricultural/industrial waste streams and offer environment-friendly and cost-effective pathways to develop engineering products.

Cellulose synthase complex organization and cellulose microfibril structure
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2017 Cellulose consists of linear chains of β-1,4-linked glucose units, which are synthesized by the cellulose synthase complex (CSC). In plants, these chains associate in an ordered manner to form the cellulose microfibrils.

Latent TGF-β binding protein 2 and 4 have essential overlapping functions in microfibril development
Scientific Reports, 2017 Microfibrils are exracellular matrix components necessary for elastic fiber assembly and for suspending lenses. We previously reported that latent TGF-β binding protein 2 (LTBP-2), a microfibril-associated protein, is required for forming stable ...
