Fibrils (from Latin fibra) are structural biological materials found in nearly all living organisms. Not to be confused with fibers or filaments, fibrils...

collagen. Amino acids are bound together to form a triple helix of elongated fibril known as a collagen helix. The collagen helix is mostly found in connective...

A myofibril (also known as a muscle fibril or sarcostyle) is a basic rod-like organelle of a muscle cell. Skeletal muscles are composed of long, tubular...

Anchoring fibrils (composed largely of type VII collagen) extend from the basal lamina of epithelial cells and attach to the lamina reticularis (also...

In solar physics, a spicule, also known as a fibril or mottle, is a dynamic jet of plasma in the Sun's chromosphere about 300 km in diameter. They move...

which is a delicate loose connective tissue containing thin collagen fibrils and elastic fibers. A set of fascicles is bound by an epitenon, which is...

the protein components instead form a perinucleolar cap. Perichromatin fibrils are visible only under electron microscope. They are located next to the...

The collagen fibril and EDS: (a) Normal collagen fibrils are of uniform size and spacing. Fibrils from a person with dermatosparaxis (b) show dramatic...

(FAC). TTR tetramer dissociation is known to be rate-limiting for amyloid fibril formation. However, the monomer also must partially denature in order for...

polymers characterized by the formation of a fine network of microvoids and fibrils. These structures (known as crazes) typically appear as linear features...

composed primarily of randomly organized yet tightly woven collagen fibrils. These fibrils interact with and attach onto each other. This layer is eight to...

have shown that fibrils are the end product and not necessarily the most toxic form of amyloid proteins/peptides in general. A non-fibril forming peptide...

non-aqueous constituents of the stroma are collagen fibrils and proteoglycans. The collagen fibrils are made of a mixture of type I and type V collagens...

Amyloidosis is a group of diseases in which abnormal proteins, known as amyloid fibrils, build up in tissue. There are several non-specific and vague signs and...

by mainly hydrogen bonds and the fibrils conform to a typical diameter size between 25 - 400 nanometers in this fibril conformation.    Mutations in genes...

hemostasis". Activated platelets contract their internal actin and myosin fibrils in their cytoskeleton, which leads to shrinkage of the clot volume. Plasminogen...

specifically to other copies of the same molecule, they can oligomerize to form fibrils; this process occurs often in structural proteins that consist of globular...
