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.

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.

Studies on Ramie cellulose microfibrils reinforced cassava starch composite: influence of microfibrils loading

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2020
Composites were fabricated from Ramie cellulose microfibrils (RCMF) with cassava starch as matrix and glycerol as a plasticizer. Different composites were fabricated with microfibrils loadings of 0, 2, 4, 8, and 10 wt%. The Particle Size Analyzer results

Nanostructure of cellulose microfibrils in spruce wood [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2011
The structure of cellulose microfibrils in wood is not known in detail, despite the abundance of cellulose in woody biomass and its importance for biology, energy, and engineering.

Diffraction evidence for the structure of cellulose microfibrils in bamboo, a model for grass and cereal celluloses [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology, 2009
Background: Cellulose from grasses and cereals makes up much of the potential raw material for biofuel production. It is not clear if cellulose microfibrils from grasses and cereals differ in structure from those of other plants.

Structure and spacing of cellulose microfibrils in woody cell walls of dicots [PDF]

Cellulose, 2014
The structure of cellulose microfibrils in situ in wood from the dicotyledonous (hardwood) species cherry and birch, and the vascular tissue from sunflower stems, was examined by wide-angle X-ray and neutron scattering (WAXS and WANS) and small-angle ...

Hydrogen bonding and other non-covalent interactions at the surfaces of cellulose microfibrils

Cellulose, 2022
It is now established that crystalline cellulose is held together not just by hydrogen bonding, but also by dispersion forces and by electrostatic attraction modulated by stereoelectronic factors such as the exo-anomeric effect.

Proteolysis of fibrillin-2 microfibrils is essential for normal skeletal development

bioRxiv, 2021
The extracellular matrix (ECM) undergoes an orchestrated transition from embryonic to mature ECM that is essential for postnatal life, yet the developmental transition mechanisms for ECM components and macromolecular complexes are poorly defined ...
