Extracellular compartments in matrix morphogenesis: collagen fibril, bundle, and lamellar formation by corneal fibroblasts
The regulation of collagen fibril, bundle, and lamella formation by the corneal fibroblasts, as well as the organization of these elements into an orthogonal stroma, was studied by transmission electron microscopy and high voltage electron microscopy. Transmission and high voltage electron microscopy of chick embryo corneas each demonstrated a series of unique extracellular compartments. Collag...
متن کاملExtracellular compartments in tendon morphogenesis: collagen fibril, bundle, and macroaggregate formation
The formation of collagen fibrils, fibril bundles, and tissue-specific collagen macroaggregates by chick embryo tendon fibroblasts was studied using conventional and high voltage electron microscopy. During chick tendon morphogenesis, there are at least three extracellular compartments responsible for three levels of matrix organization: collagen fibrils, bundles, and collagen macroaggregates. ...
متن کاملCollagen Fibril Formation
Soluble rat tail tendon collagen with intact nonhelical ends and largely free of aggregates was used to study fibril formation in vitro. The process was initiated by raising the pH and warming a cold solution of collagen. Fibril formation was monitored by turbidity and the product was examined by electron microscopy. Optimal conditions that will form fibrils similar to those observed in vivo ar...
متن کاملCollagen fibril formation.
Collagen is most abundant in animal tissues as very long fibrils with a characteristic axial periodic structure. The fibrils provide the major biomechanical scaffold for cell attachment and anchorage of macromolecules, allowing the shape and form of tissues to be defined and maintained. How the fibrils are formed from their monomeric precursors is the primary concern of this review. Collagen fi...
متن کاملCollagen Fibril Formation in Vitro
We showed previously that fibril formation in vitro from rat tail tendon collagen requires a temperaturedependent initiation (Step 1) following which linear assembly to form thin filaments (Step 2) proceeds as rapidly at 4°C as at 26°C. Step 3, lateral assembly of filaments to form fibrils, is again temperature-dependent. We now find that Step 1 is complete in 6 min at 26°C and the time is inde...
