Growth of Collagen Fibril Seeds from Embryonic Tendon: Fractured Fibril Ends Nucleate New Tip Growth

Collagen fibrils are the principal tensile element of vertebrate tissues where they occur in the extracellular matrix as spatially organised arrays. A major challenge is to understand how the mechanisms of nucleation, growth and remodelling yield fibrils of tissue-specific diameter and length. Here...
