Definition of Microfibril. Meaning of Microfibril. Synonyms of Microfibril

- 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...
- super-super-coil referred to as the collagen microfibril. Each microfibril is interdigitated with its neighboring microfibrils to a degree that might suggest they...
- extracellular matrix by fibroblasts and becomes incorporated into the insoluble microfibrils, which appear to provide a scaffold for deposition of elastin. Marfan...
- cellulose chains are bundled together as microfibril spiralled together in plant cell walls. Each microfibril exhibits a high degree of three-dimensional...
- serves as a structural component of 10–12 nm calcium-binding microfibrils. These microfibrils provide force bearing structural support in elastic and nonelastic...
- direction of the cellulose microfibrils differs between the layers. The direction of the microfibrils is called microfibril angle (MFA). In the secondary...
- land plants are cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin. The cellulose microfibrils are linked together with hemicellulose, embedded in a pectin matrix....
- hygroscopic movements between layers, their microfibril structures having a large angle disparity (microfibril angle (MFA) γ = 75–90°). Pine cone scales...
- side-by-side and forming microfibrils with high tensile strength. This confers tensile strength in cell walls where cellulose microfibrils are meshed into a...
- Elastic fibers Allow organs like arteries and lungs to recoil Elastic microfibril and elastin extracellular matrix Reticular fibers Form a scaffolding...
