Type III collagen, a fibril network modifier in articular cartilage.
The collagen framework of hyaline cartilages, including articular cartilage, consists largely of type II collagen that matures from a cross-linked heteropolymeric fibril template of types II, IX, and XI collagens. In the articular cartilages of adult joints, type III collagen makes an appearance in varying amounts superimposed on the original collagen fibril network. In a study to understand be...
متن کاملTeemu Långsjö Collagen Network of the Articular Cartilage
Degenerative joint disease is a major cause of functional disability and pain affecting globally hundreds of millions people. In the western countries, osteoarthritis is a major joint disease most often affecting people over 65 years of age. Aging, joint loading, articular cartilage injuries, obesity, and genetic factors are known to influence the development of osteoarthritis. In osteoarthriti...
متن کاملNature designs tough collagen: explaining the nanostructure of collagen fibrils.
Collagen is a protein material with superior mechanical properties. It consists of collagen fibrils composed of a staggered array of ultra-long tropocollagen (TC) molecules. Theoretical and molecular modeling suggests that this natural design of collagen fibrils maximizes the strength and provides large energy dissipation during deformation, thus creating a tough and robust material. We find th...
متن کاملCollagen of articular cartilage
The extracellular framework and two-thirds of the dry mass of adult articular cartilage are polymeric collagen. Type II collagen is the principal molecular component in mammals, but collagens III, VI, IX, X, XI, XII and XIV all contribute to the mature matrix. In developing cartilage, the core fibrillar network is a cross-linked copolymer of collagens II, IX and XI. The functions of collagens I...
متن کاملThe development of the collagen fibre network in tissue-engineered cartilage constructs in vivo. Engineered cartilage reorganises fibre network.
For long term durability of tissue-engineered cartilage implanted in vivo, the development of the collagen fibre network orientation is essential as well as the distribution of collagen, since expanded chondrocytes are known to synthesise collagen type I. Typically, these properties differ strongly between native and tissue-engineered cartilage. Nonetheless, the clinical results of a pilot stud...
