Isolation of cellulose microfibrils - An enzymatic approach [PDF]
BioResources, 2006 Isolation methods and applications of cellulose microfibrils are expanding rapidly due to environmental benefits and specific strength properties, especially in bio-composite science. In this research, we have success-fully developed and explored a novel

Dissecting the molecular mechanism underlying the intimate relationship between cellulose microfibrils and cortical microtubules [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 A central question in plant cell development is how the cell wall determines directional cell expansion and therefore the final shape of the cell. As the major load-bearing component of the cell wall, cellulose microfibrils are laid down transversely to ...

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 ...

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.

Adamtsl2 deletion results in bronchial fibrillin microfibril accumulation and bronchial epithelial dysplasia: A novel mouse model providing insights on geleophysic dysplasia [PDF]
, 2015 Mutations in the secreted glycoprotein ADAMTSL2 cause recessive geleophysic dysplasia (GD) in humans and Musladin–Lueke syndrome (MLS) in dogs. GD is a severe, often lethal, condition presenting with short stature, brachydactyly, stiff skin, joint ...

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).

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).
