Bone tissue is a nanocomposite consisting of an organic and inorganic matrix, in which the
collagen component and the mineral phase are organized into complex and porous …

Synthetic 3D extracellular matrices (ECMs) find application in cell studies, regenerative
medicine, and drug discovery. While cells cultured in a monolayer may exhibit unnatural …

Collagen is a fibrillar protein that conforms the conjunctive and connective tissues in the
human body, essentially skin, joints, and bones. This molecule is one of the most abundant …

Biomolecular piezoelectric materials are considered a strong candidate material for

In the last two decades, marine collagen has attracted great scientific and industrial interest
as a 'blue resource', with potential for use in various health-related sectors, such as food …

Collagen is the most abundant protein in animals. This fibrous, structural protein comprises
a right-handed bundle of three parallel, left-handed polyproline II-type helices. Much …

Collagen, as a thermal-sensitive protein, is the most abundant structural protein in animals.
Native collagen has been widely applied in various fields due to its specific physicochemical …

Posttranslational modifications can cause profound changes in protein function. Typically,
these modifications are reversible, and thus provide a biochemical on-off switch. In contrast …

The main features of the triple helical structure of collagen were deduced in the mid-1950s
from fibre X-ray diffraction of tendons. Yet, the resulting models only could offer an average …
