Microfibril - Wikipedia
WEBA microfibril is a very fine fibril, or fiber-like strand, consisting of glycoproteins and cellulose. It is usually, but not always, used as a general term in describing the structure of protein fiber, e.g. hair and sperm tail.
Microfibrils: a cornerstone of extracellular matrix and a key to ...
WEBMicrofibrils are constituents of elastic and oxytalan fibers that confer mechanical stability and limited elasticity to tissues, contribute to growth factor regulation, and play a role in tissue development and homeostasis.
The Shape of Native Plant Cellulose Microfibrils | Scientific Reports
WEBSep 18, 2018 · Determining the shape of plant cellulose microfibrils is critical for understanding plant cell wall molecular architecture and conversion of cellulose into biofuels.
Fibrillin microfibrils and elastic fibre proteins: Functional ...
WEBFibrillin microfibrils, which have a beads-on-a-string appearance, are a major component of elastic fibres, conferring long range extensibility and contributing to the elastic deformation of tissues.
Microfibril - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
WEBMicrofibrils are supramolecular protein complexes associated with more than 20 different components (Baldwin, Simpson, Steer, Cain, & Kielty, 2013). The backbone building blocks are the fibrillin isoforms.
Microfibril - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
WEBMicrofibrils are assemblies of various ECM glycoproteins that often admit thin fibril-like beaded structures.
Microfibrils and Fibrillin | SpringerLink
WEBDec 10, 2010 · 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.
Assembly of Microfibrils - Madame Curie Bioscience Database
WEBIt is likely that the molecular assembly of microfibrils is disturbed by at least some mutations in the gene for fibrillin-1 (FBN1) leading to Marfan syndrome (MFS) and other microfibrillopathies. This chapter summarizes the current knowledge of fibrillin assembly into microfibrils and discusses this understanding in the light of FBN1 mutations.
