Biomimetic mushroom-shaped fibrillar adhesive microstructure.
To improve the adhesive properties of artificial fibrillar contact structures, the attachment systems of beetles from the family Chrysomelidae were chosen to serve as a model. Biomimetic mushroom-shaped fibrillar adhesive microstructure inspired by these systems was characterized using a variety of measurement techniques and compared with a control flat surface made of the same material. Result...
متن کاملSpike formation by fibroblasts adhering to fibrillar collagen I gel.
The fibrillar collagen I gel induced the formation of numerous dendritic cell-like protrusions (cell spikes) from the cell body, whereas monomeric collagen I induced typical cell spreading with filopodia and lamellipodia in skin fibroblasts. Peripheral, not central stress fibers appeared upon adhesion to fibrillar collagen gel, whereas both types of fibers were evident upon adhesion to monomeri...
متن کاملThe Fibrillar Collagen Family
Collagens, or more precisely collagen-based extracellular matrices, are often considered as a metazoan hallmark. Among the collagens, fibrillar collagens are present from sponges to humans, and are involved in the formation of the well-known striated fibrils. In this review we discuss the different steps in the evolution of this protein family, from the formation of an ancestral fibrillar colla...
متن کاملProteoglycan-fibrillar collagen interactions.
The future of biochemistry lies in understanding how single gene products associate and function together. Interactions in connective tissues, including those between the proteoglycans and collagens are especially piquant, evolutionarily conserved and physiologically significant. Connective tissues (e.g. skin, tendon, blood vessels, etc.) are systems of insoluble fibrils and soluble polymers wh...
متن کاملAlginate hydrogel has a negative impact on in vitro collagen 1 deposition by fibroblasts.
Hydrogels have been widely investigated as 3D culture substrates because of their reported structural similarity to the extracellular matrix (ECM). Limited ECM deposition, however, occurs within these materials, so the resulting "tissues" bear little resemblance to those found in the body. Here matrix deposition by fibroblasts encapsulated within a calcium alginate (Ca-alg) hydrogel was investi...
