Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to study the thermal stability of native and
synthetically cross-linked rat-tail tendon at different levels of hydration, and the results …

Study Design. Biochemical study of the changes in the collagen cross-link profile of human
intervertebral discs collected at surgery from patients with either low back pain associated …

AIMS--The age-related changes in the biochemical composition of the collagenous matrix of
the human lamina cribrosa were investigated. METHODS--An age range (3 weeks to 92 …

The human patellar tendon is frequently affected by tendinopathy, but the etiology of the
condition is not established, although differential loading of the anterior and posterior tendon …

Non-enzymic glycation of collagen involves a series of complex reactions ultimately leading
to the formation of intermolecular cross-links resulting in changes in its physical properties. …

Differential scanning calorimetry has revealed the presence of a new denaturation endotherm
at 32 C following UV irradiation of collagen, compared with 39 C for the native triple helix. …

Malondialdehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein, and 4-hydroxynonenal are all products of fatty
acid oxidation found in the fatty streaks of atherosclerotic arteries due to a lack of antioxidants …

The reuse and recycling of steel has an important part to play in developing a circular
economy. Regulators are increasingly looking to improve resource efficiency and, in particular, …

The primary functional role of collagen is as a supporting tissue and it is now established
that the aggregated forms of the collagen monomers are stabilised to provide mechanical …

Presently, there is a lack of fundamental understanding regarding changes in collagen’s
molecular state due to mechanical damage. The bovine tail tendon (BTT; steers approximately …
