Phyllotaxis: a framework for foam topological evolution
Nicolas Rivier, Jean-François Sadoc, Jean Charvolin
Phyllotaxis describes the arrangement of florets, scales or leaves in composite flowers or plants (daisy, aster, sunflower, pinecone, pineapple). As a structure, it is a geometrica…
Conjecture on the lateral growth of type I collagen fibrils
Jean Charvolin, Jean-François Sadoc
Type I collagen fibrils have circular cross sections with radii mostly distributed in between 50 and 100 nm and are characterized by an axial banding pattern with a period of 67 nm…
Ordering in dense fiber bundles, the phyllotactic solution and its application to collagen fibrils
Jean Charvolin, Jean-François Sadoc
The shape of the cross section of a dense fiber bundle is related to the symmetry of its molecular packing. However, this statement might be belied by type I collagen fibrils which…
A Phyllotactic Approach to the Structure of Collagen Fibrils
Jean Charvolin, Jean-François Sadoc
Collagen fibrils, cable-like assemblies of long biological molecules, are dominant components of connective tissues. Their determinant morphological and functional roles motivated…
