Fibrillar matrix

As depicted in Fig. 3, in glandular trichoma the cannabinoids are produced in the cells but accumirlate in the secretory sac of the glandular trichomes, dissolved in the essential oil [17-21]. Here, A9-THC was found to accumulate in the cell wall, the fibrillar matrix and the surface feature of vesicles in the secretory cavity, the subcutilar wall, and the cuticula of glandular trichomes [19].

Biconstituent fibres eonsisting fibrils of a polymer aligned parallel to the fibre length interspersed in a continuous matrix of another polymer and their structure, resembles the bilateral strueture of wool. Clearly fibrillar-matrix ratio and the nature and relative dimension of the eomponents can be altered to vary the physico-... 

Morphologically, the fibres are composed of the cortex and the cuticle. Each of the two components is formed of various other morphological components (Table 9.6.3). The cortex contains cortical cells and the cell membrane complex. The cortical cell is further composed of macro-fibrils and intermacro-fibrillar material. The macro-fibrils consist of micro-fibrils and intermicro-fibrillar matrix. In summary, the cortex is formed of micro-fibrils (intermediate filament, IF, or keratin proteins, KP) and keratin associated proteins (IFAP or KAP), which compose the intermicrofibrillar matrix containing cytoplasmatic and nuclear remnants. This ensemble is wrapped up in the cuticle, as an external sheath which also has its own architecture, being formed of four layers the epicuticle, the a-layer, the exocuticle and the endocuticle. 

F. is a component of a fibrillar matrix underlying the blastocoel roof in the blastula stage of amphibian embryos, and has been shown to be necessary for mesodermal cell migration in gastrulation. 

The possibility exists that in the near future specific fibrinolytic agents may be found which could dissolve the fibrillar matrix of the atheromatous plaque. 

Fig. 5.108 An example of the biphasic structure of X7G formed by specific thermal history is shown by TEM. An ultrathin, longitudinal section of the fiber is shown to have dense elongated dispersed phase particles present in a fibrillar matrix. Microdiffraction of the dispersed phase shows it is amorphous (inset 1) and likely PET, and a pattern for the matrix (inset 2) appears oriented and is likely the PHBA.
