Reversibility of strain stiffening in silk fibroin gels.
We investigate the linear and nonlinear viscoelastic properties as well as the reversibility of strain-stiffening behavior of silk fibroin gels. The gels are prepared from 4.2w/v% fibroin solution in the presence of butanediol diglycidyl ether and N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED) as a cross-linker and catalyst, respectively. By changing the concentration of TEMED in the gelation sys...
متن کاملNonlinear strain stiffening is not sufficient to explain how far cells can feel on fibrous protein gels.
Recent observations suggest that cells on fibrous extracellular matrix materials sense mechanical signals over much larger distances than they do on linearly elastic synthetic materials. In this work, we systematically investigate the distance fibroblasts can sense a rigid boundary through fibrous gels by quantifying the spread areas of human lung fibroblasts and 3T3 fibroblasts cultured on slo...
متن کاملStrain stiffening in collagen I networks.
Biopolymer gels exhibit strain stiffening that is generally not seen in synthetic gels. Here, we investigate the strain-stiffening behavior in collagen I gels that demonstrate elasticity derived from a variety of sources including crosslinking through telopeptides, bundling through low-temperature gelation, and exogenous crosslinking with genipin. In all cases, it is found that these gels exhib...
متن کاملEffectiveness of corneal collagen crosslinking in vivo for corneal stiffening.
Additional references are provided by the authors to support their claims. However, the Hashemi and Mehravaran study reported results from only 23 subjects, which is likely underpowered to detect small changes in the posterior surface. Ciolini and Belin investigated a larger dataset but reported amean difference between preoperative andpostoperative changes in the posterior surface without a st...
متن کاملReaction of glycolaldehyde with rroteins: Latent crosslinking
The Schiff base adducts of glyceraldehyde with hemoglobin undergo Amadori rearrangement to form stable ketoamine structures; this reaction is similar to the nonenzymic glucosylation of proteins. In the present studies the analogous rearrangement of the Schiff base adducts of glycolaldehyde with proteins has been demonstrated. However, the Amadori rearrangement of this Schiff base adduct produce...
