A microfibril is a very fine fibril, or fiber-like strand, consisting of glycoproteins and cellulose. It is usually, but not always, used as a general...

cellulose chains are bundled together as microfibril spiralled together in plant cell walls. Each microfibril exhibits a high degree of three-dimensional...

super-super-coil referred to as the collagen microfibril. Each microfibril is interdigitated with its neighboring microfibrils to a degree that might suggest they...

direction of the cellulose microfibrils differs between the layers. The direction of the microfibrils is called microfibril angle (MFA). In the secondary...

Elastin microfibril interfacer 1 (EMILIN-1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EMILIN1 gene. It is the best characterized member of the EMILIN...

unknown, the mechanism was later described as resulting from cellulose microfibrils stacked into helicoidal structures. Those structures appear on both the...

matrix protein that is found in microfibrils; defects in the fibrillin-1 protein cause the malfunctioning of microfibrils, which results in improper stretching...
