Proteomic analysis of fibrillin‐rich microfibrils
PROTEOMICS, 2006Abstract 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.

Colchicine and microfibril orientation
Protoplasma, 1976Investigations on the mechanism of orientation of the cellulose microfibrils of the green algaOocystis solitaria have been carried out. This organism demonstrates easily observable and highly ordered microfibrils in its wall, which are arranged parallel to one another and regularly alternate at 90‡ from layer to layer of which there are approximately ...

Microfibrils are supramolecular structures ubiquitously found in the extracellular matrix of elastic and nonelastic tissues. The three members of the cysteine-rich fibrillin family constitute the core of microfibrils. Mutations in fibrillin-1 and -2 lead to a number of heritable connective tissue disorders termed fibrillinopathies.

Mechanical performance and cellulose microfibrils in wood with high S2 microfibril angles
Journal of Materials Science, 2010Corewood and compression wood, both with high S2 microfibril angles, are the worst parts of the tree most in need of improvement in wood quality. This study focuses on the characteristics of cellulosic reinforcement in wood with high S2 microfibril angles lying between 35° and 60°, as well as the probable influence of these characteristics on wood ...

Microtubules and Microfibrils in Human Platelets
Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 1966SummaryThe microtubules and microfibrils of human platelets are described. They are studied under conditions that give as little alterations as possible. Conclusions on their localisation in vivo are drawn and their possible role in maintaining the platelet shape is discussed.

Extracellular microfibrils in development and disease
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2007Fibrillins are the structural components of extracellular microfibrils that impart physical properties to tissues, alone or together with elastin as elastic fibers. Genetic studies in mice have revealed that fibrillin-rich microfibrils are also involved in regulating developmental programs and homeostatic processes through the modulation of TGF-beta ...

Structure of the α-keratin microfibril
Journal of Molecular Biology, 1976The fine detail in the X-ray diffraction pattern of α-keratin has been explored out to spacings of 4 A by a direct mapping of the cylindrically averagedintensity transform. The meridional maxima lie on a set of layer lines corresponding to an axially projected repeat of structure of 470 A, and the distribution of nonmeridional maxima is consistent with

Thrombin Stimulated Release of Platelet Microfibrils
British Journal of Haematology, 1974Summary. Platelets, separated from plasma by gel filtration, were exposed to a low level of thrombin prior to negative staining and examination by electron microscopy. Microfibrils with dimensions consistent with the contractile protein of platelets, thrombosthenin, were observed to radiate from the platelet surface.

Periodic Disorder along Ramie Cellulose Microfibrils
Biomacromolecules, 2003Small angle neutron scattering studies have been carried out on cellulose fibers from ramie and Populus maximowicii (cotton wood). Labile hydrogen atoms were replaced by deuterium atoms, in water-accessible disordered regions of the fibers, to increase the neutron scattering contrast between the disordered and crystalline regions.

Possible Roles of Microfibrils in Elastogenesis
Connective Tissue Research, 1981On examination in the electron microscope elastic tissue is seen to consist of an amorphous component surrounded by microfibrillar components. The exact relationship between these components is unknown, although during development the microfibrils appear before the amorphous material.
