Immunolocalization of microfibril and microfibril-associated proteins in the subendothelial matrix of the developing mouse aorta

Journal of Cell Science, 1994
ABSTRACT In the developing aorta, endothelial cell connecting filaments extend from the abluminal surface of the endothelial cell to the subjacent elastic lamina. The connecting filaments are in alignment with intracellular stress fibers and are oriented parallel to the direction of blood flow.

A note on microfibrils in polyethylene

Journal of Macromolecular Science, Part B, 1974
Abstract The results of diffraction (low-angle scattering of X-rays and electrons) and electron microscopy study show a significant qualitative coincidence in studies of the morphology of oriented polyethylene films obtained from polyethylene single crystal mats. The morphology approximates the ideal description of a microfibrillar structure.

Organization and Biomechanical Properties of Fibrillin Microfibrils

2004
The evolution and function of multicellular organisms has required tissue flexibility and the necessity to withstand stretch. These properties underpin movement and allow responses to changing environments. The elastic fibre is a bio-composite material composed of two insoluble extracellular matrix assemblies; fibrillin-rich microfibrils and elastin ...

Packing of microfibrils in collagen

Journal of Molecular Biology, 1974
Abstract X-ray diffraction data obtained from rat tail tendon can be indexed on a tetragonal unit cell with a = 2 × 38·47 A , c = 4 × 670 A , space group P41 or P43, in which all the intermicrofibril contacts are quasi-equivalent.

Process for the production of microfibrillated cellulose and produced microfibrillated cellulose

2010
A process for producing microfibrillated cellulose comprises providing a slurry comprising cellulosic fibers, treating the slurry with an enzyme, mechanically treating the slurry so that the fibers are disintegrated wherein the mechanical treatment and the treatment with the enzyme is performed simultaneously in a single treatment step.

Microfibrils from the Arterial Subendothelium

1999
Microfibrillar structures of the subendothelium are represented by either type VI collagen or elastin-associated microfibrils which are also referred to as fibrillin-containing microfibrils. These structures are present throughout the subendothelium irrespective of the presence of elastin.

On the ultrastructure of cellulose microfibrils

Journal of Polymer Science Part A: General Papers, 1965
AbstractStatistical formulae based on generally accepted models for cellulose microfibril structure were developed to calculate the mean length of microfibril segments which do not contain molecular chain‐ends, i.e., “continuous segments.” The calculated length of such “continuous segments” for microfibrils of 2–3 mμ cross section, containing molecules
