TERENZIO PROTASONI is an academic who published a paper in 2015 entitled Ultrastructural aspects of mineralization-induced modifications in turkey tendon. TERENZIO PROTASONI published this work as part of a team: Raspanti,. Here is a description of this work: In all tendons the collagen fascicles follow a wavy course (actually a flattened lefthanded helix) forming visible crimps. Each crimp corresponds to a sharp bend and/ or an axial twisting of individual collagen fibrils (Raspanti et al., 2005; Franchi et al., 2010), and even once the fibril are straightened out a permanent local deformation remains visible, still revealing the original crimp location (Raspanti et al., 2005). The tendons of some birds represent a special case as they undergo a physiological process of gradual mineralization involving heavy modifications of the tissue architecture. In the present research, turkey tendons appeared to be more finely subdivided into thinner fascicles than most tendons; they contained a greater amount of cell-rich endotenon tissue as well as occasional nodules of cartilage-like matrix. The most str.
