Cartilage Matrix In subject area: Agricultural and Biological Sciences Cartilage matrix is a permeable gel that supports diffusion of substrates and metabolites and interstitial growth by cell division. From: Encyclopedia of Endocrine Diseases, 2004 Featured on this page...
structural support for crystal nucleation and growth due to the self-assembly of the protein forming a fiber-like structure9, other structural proteins includes hic31 and hic52, both containing polyglycine blocks of (Gly)nand structure similar to collagen type I, alpha 1 and alpha 216,17,18....
A crystalline organic phase (collagen) makes up 90% of the organic component of the bone matrix while the inorganic component of bone ECM is mainly a crystalline mineral phase, hydroxyapatite crystal (HA), which makes up 65% of the bone matrix and provides the strength property of bone [8]...

This study has used in situ hybridization, Northern blot analysis, and immunohistochemistry at the light and electron microscope levels to localize mRNAs a
In this respect the covalently bound phosphate of collagen may be significant. However, there is some evidence that apatite nucleation can take place in sites removed from collagen fibrils. 3. Bone contains glycoproteins, acidic lipids and peptides which could have a potential function in nucleation...

(Gla protein), as a protein that binds calcium during mineralization; osteonectin, which serves a bridging function between collagen and mineral component; and sialoproteins, such as bone sialoprotein (BSP), osteopontin (OPN), dentin matrix protein-1 (DMP1), dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) and...
The formation of the first crystals of inorganic salts of calcium phosphate are often referred to as initiation or nucleation which occurs along nucleation sites which appear at regular intervals along the organic scaffolding, usually collagen laid down by osteoblasts. Once nucleation has occurred, the...
There is now a body of evidence that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are important in the uncontrolled breakdown of connective tissue, including proteoglycan and collagen, leading to resorption of the extracellular matrix. This is a feature of many pathological conditions, such as rheumatoid and ...
