The objective of this review is to analyze in detail the microscopic structure and relations
among muscular fibers, endomysium, perimysium, epimysium and deep fasciae. In …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a heterogeneous, connective network composed of fibrous
glycoproteins that coordinate in vivo to provide the physical scaffolding, mechanical stability …

This work presents a thorough study on the Amide III band in fibrous proteins using Fourier
Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Type I collagen was chosen as a model for this …

Abnormal formation and organization of collagen network is commonly observed in many
organ pathologies, but analytical techniques able to reveal the collagen biodistribution are …

The biochemistry of food is the foundation on which the research and development

Properties of film from cuttlefish (Sepia pharaonis) ventral skin gelatin with different degree
of hydrolysis (DH: 0.40, 0.80 and 1.20%) added with glycerol as plasticizer at various levels …

The aim of this work was to investigate the structural features of type I collagen isoforms and
collagen-based films at atomic and molecular scales, in order to evaluate whether and to …

Collagen is the main structural and most abundant protein in the human body, and it is
routinely extracted and analysed in scientific archaeology. Its degree of preservation is …

Tissue engineering has emerged as a viable approach to treat disease or repair damage in
tissues and organs. One of the key elements for the success of tissue engineering is the use …

Native skin collagen fibers were successfully dissolved in the ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-
methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM] Cl), and regenerated in different precipitators. The …
