Role of fibrilins in human cancer: A narrative review
Health Science Reports, 2023 Background Fibrillin is one of the extracellular matrix glycoproteins and participates in forming microfibrils found in many connective tissues. The microfibrils enable the elasticity and stretching properties of the ligaments and support connective ...

Melt Processing of Cellulose Acetate for Controlled Release Applications – A Review
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.This review presents recent developments in the melt‐processing of cellulose acetate (CA). Factors affecting the processability, biodegradability, and mechanical performance of CA are also summarized. Plasticizers, bio‐based polymers (PLA, PBAT & PHBV), and clay nanoparticles are also examined toward enhancing the melt processability and mechanical ...

Structure-mechanics relationships of collagen fibrils in the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Mouse model [PDF]
, 2015 The collagen molecule, which is the building block of collagen fibrils, is a triple helix of two α1(I) chains and one α2(I) chain. However, in the severe mouse model of osteogenesis imperfecta (OIM), deletion of the COL1A2 gene results in the ...

Structural and Material Properties of Chitin Nanofibers Produced Without Deacetylation Treatment
Nano Select, EarlyView.In this study, we prepared chitin nanofibers with a width of several nanometers without the need for a deacetylation process. We examined their structural properties, such as their morphology, surface charge, colloidal stability, and material performance, including their emulsifying capabilities and film properties, by comparing them with those of ...

The structure of the α-keratin microfibril
Bioscience Reports, 1983 Quantitative measurements of the intensity of the meridional reflections in the X-ray-diffraction pattern of α-keratin are shown to be consistent with a microfibril structure in which a surface lattice with an axially projected period around 200 Å is subject to a periodic interruption with an axially projected period of 470 Å. Taken in conjunction with

Flocculation of microfibrillated cellulose in shear flow [PDF]
Cellulose, 2012 AbstractIn this work, the rheological properties of microfibrillated cellulose suspensions under stepped flow and constant shear were studied using a combination of rotational dynamic rheometer and digital imaging. During each rheological measurement, the structure of the suspension was monitored through a transparent outer cylinder with a digital ...
