Skin Collagen Fiber Molecular Order: A Pattern of Distributional Fiber Orientation as Assessed by Optical Anisotropy and Image Analysis
BACKGROUND Birefringence can reveal much of the morphology, molecular order, heterogeneity of fiber orientation, and nonlinear optical properties of biopolymers such as collagen. However, the detailed characterization of skin collagen fibers using optical anisotropy methods remains elusive. A clear understanding of collagen fiber organization in skin tissues may be important in the interpretati...
متن کاملModerately Degenerated Human Intervertebral Disks Exhibit a Less Geometrically Specific Collagen Fiber Orientation Distribution
STUDY DESIGN Collagen fiber orientation analysis in moderately degenerated human cadaveric annulus fibrosus (AF) tissue samples. OBJECTIVE Little is known about the changes in tissue architecture during early degeneration of intervertebral disks (IVDs). As collagen organization strongly affects the disk function, the objective of this study was to quantify the AF collagen orientation and its ...
متن کاملPreferred collagen fiber orientation in the human mid-shaft femur.
Collagen fiber orientation is one aspect of the microstructure of bone that influences its mechanical properties. While the spatial distribution of preferentially oriented collagen is hypothesized to reflect the effects of loading during the process of aging, its variability in a modern human sample is essentially unknown. In a large sample (n = 67) of autopsied adults, the variability of colla...
متن کاملChanges in collagen orientation and distribution in keratoconus corneas.
PURPOSE To map the collagen orientation and relative distribution of collagen fibrillar mass in keratoconus corneal buttons. METHODS Structural analysis was performed by obtaining synchrotron x-ray scattering patterns across the samples at 0.25-mm intervals. The patterns were analyzed to produce two-dimensional maps of the orientation of the lamellae and of the distribution of total and prefe...
متن کاملRemodelling of the angular collagen fiber distribution in cardiovascular tissues
Understanding collagen fiber remodelling is desired to optimize the mechanical conditioning protocols in tissue-engineering of load-bearing cardiovascular structures. Mathematical models offer strong possibilities to gain insight into the mechanisms and mechanical stimuli involved in these remodelling processes. In this study, a framework is proposed to investigate remodelling of angular collag...
