Structure-mechanics relationships of collagen fibrils in the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Mouse model [PDF]
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 ...
