The Diversity of Fibrillin Functions: Lessons from the Periodontal Ligament [PDF]
CellsMarfan syndrome is caused by a mutation in the FBN1 gene encoding fibrillin-1. This extracellular matrix glycoprotein, which assembles into microfibrils, is best known for its scaffolding role in the production of elastic fibers responsible for ...

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

The Supramolecular Organization of Fibrillin-Rich Microfibrils [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 2001 We propose a new model for the alignment of fibrillin molecules within fibrillin microfibrils. Automated electron tomography was used to generate three-dimensional microfibril reconstructions to 18.6-Å resolution, which revealed many new organizational details of untensioned microfibrils, including heart-shaped beads from which two arms emerge, and ...

Simulation of Adhesive Contact of Soft Microfibrils [PDF]
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.

Extracellular microfibrils in development and disease
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2007 Fibrillins are the structural components of extracellular microfibrils that impart physical properties to tissues, alone or together with elastin as elastic fibers. Genetic studies in mice have revealed that fibrillin-rich microfibrils are also involved in regulating developmental programs and homeostatic processes through the modulation of TGF-beta ...

Macromolecular crowding enhances fibrillin-1 deposition in the extracellular matrix [PDF]
European Cells & Materials, 2022 Biochemical and biophysical factors need consideration when modelling in vivo cellular behaviour using in vitro cell culture systems. One underappreciated factor is the high concentration of macromolecules present in vivo, which is typically not ...

Electric field bridging-effect in electrified microfibrils’ scaffolds
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023 Introduction: The use of biocompatible scaffolds combined with the implantation of neural stem cells, is increasingly being investigated to promote the regeneration of damaged neural tissue, for instance, after a Spinal Cord Injury (SCI).
