, 2005 Fibrillin microfibrils are widely distributed extracellular matrix assemblies that endow elastic and nonelastic connective tissues with long-range elasticity. They direct tropoelastin deposition during elastic fibrillogenesis and form an outer mantle for

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-A resolution, which revealed many new organizational ...

The supramolecular organization of collagen VI microfibrils
Journal of Molecular Biology, 2003 Collagen VI has a ubiquitous distribution throughout connective tissues, and has key roles in linking cells and matrix macromolecules. We have generated three-dimensional reconstructions of collagen VI microfibrils using automated electron tomography ...

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 ...

Collagen VI microfibril structure reveals mechanism for molecular assembly and clustering of inherited pathogenic mutations [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsCollagen VI links the cell surface to the extracellular matrix to provide mechanical strength to most mammalian tissues, and is linked to human diseases including muscular dystrophy, fibrosis, cardiovascular disease and osteoarthritis.

Proteomic analysis of fibrillin-rich microfibrils
PROTEOMICS, 2006 MS has been used to investigate the composition of fibrillin-rich microfibrils from non-elastic and elastic tissues, and to compare fibrillin-1 tryptic fingerprints derived from whole zonules, microfibrils and recombinant fibrillin-1.

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.

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.
