Collagen is one of the main constituents of mammalian extracellular matrix and is used extensively as a coating for tissue culture dishes and medical implants to promote cell growth and proliferation. By modulating the topography of the collagen coat

Bovine forelimb flexor and extensor tendons serve as a model for examining high stress, energy storing and low stress, positional tendons, respectively. Previous research has shown structural differences between the collagen fibrils of these tissues.

Abstract Textiles containing interposed layers of polyethylene oxide (PEO)‐fibrinogen and PEO‐thrombin fibers are explored as biomaterials for hemostasis. The PEO‐fibrinogen and PEO‐thrombin fibers are formed by contact drawing, an approach t

To describe the interaction between longitudinal density modulations along collagen fibrils (the D band) with a radial twist field of molecular orientation (double twist), we couple a phase-field crystal (PFC) with liquid-crystalline free energies to

Collagen is the primary structural protein in animals. Serving as nanoscale biological ropes, collagen fibrils are responsible for providing strength to a variety of connective tissues such as tendon, skin, and bone. Understanding structure-function

At high concentration or in the presence of electrolytes and organic solvents, solutions of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) can form gels exhibiting optical properties similar to the ones of liquid crystal phases. In an attempt to pattern such a gel ph

Mammalian appendages such as hair, quill and wool have a unique structure composed of a cuticle, a cortex and a medulla. The cortex, responsible for the mechanical properties of the fibers, is an assemblage of spindle-shaped keratinized cells bound t

Intermediate filaments (IFs) assembled in vitro from recombinantly expressed proteins have a diameter of 8-12 nm and can reach several micrometers in length. IFs assemble from a soluble pool of subunits, tetramers in the case of vimentin. Upon salt a

Intermediate filaments (IFs), in addition to microtubules and microfilaments, are one of the three major components of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells, playing a vital role in mechanotransduction and in providing mechanical stability to cells. D
