fibryle
Fibryle is a term used to describe a small fiber or fibril, a slender, elongated structure that forms part of biological tissues and some biomaterials. In English, the common term is fibril; fibryle is used in several languages as a direct equivalent or historical usage. Fibrils are typically nanoscale to micrometer-scale in diameter and may be composed of proteins, polysaccharides, or mineral components, depending on their tissue context.
Structure and assembly: Fibrils consist of subunits that progressively align along their length, producing a filament
Examples and types: Cytoskeletal fibrils include actin filaments and intermediate filaments; extracellular matrix fibrils such as
Function and relevance: Fibrils confer mechanical strength, shape, and resiliency to tissues; they transmit forces and
