It is generally observed that in protein structures such as collagen, the absorption of water increases as a sigmoidal function of the RH [22] this typically indicates saturation phenomena and indicates that different levels of water-collagen interactions may occur.
There was one exception to this rule, found by comparing replicative and damaged fractions in coverslips from each of the abattoir horses (n = 5) at different levels of confluence on collagen or fibronectin surfaces.
The ability of using simple non-protein molecules to recapitulate different levels of structural hierarchy in mineralised collagen signifies the ultimate simplicity in Nature's biomineralisation design principles and challenges the need for using more complex recombinant matrix proteins in bioengineering applications.
These alternative mechanisms could be the result of different levels of fibrous tissue in the tissues of origin, (e.g. collagen density is high in breast and colon but not in lung tissue).
To further investigate the anabolic response of chondrocytes to IGF after different levels of catabolic stimuli, we measured the release of the N-terminal pro-peptide of pro-collagen type II, PIINP, as a marker of collagen type II synthesis [ 26].
To assay the adhesiveness of cells expressing different levels of CD46, flow-sorted populations were allowed to adhere and spread on collagen I for 30 minutes.
The susceptibility of native collagen fibrils to MMP cleavage should be tested for different levels of applied strains and stresses, both static and cyclic.
There are different levels of understanding.
There's different levels of it.
Does it have different levels of loudness?
