Collagens and collagen-related diseases
Annals of Medicine, 2001 The collagen superfamily of proteins plays a dominant role in maintaining the integrity of various tissues and also has a number of other important functions. The superfamily now includes more than 20 collagen types with altogether at least 38 distinct polypeptide chains, and more than 15 additional proteins that have collagen-like domains.

Biological implications of a discrete mathematical model for collagen deposition and alignment in dermal wound repair [PDF]
, 2000 We deveiop a novel mathematical model for collagen deposition and alignment during dermal wound healing. We focus on the interactions between fibroblasts, modelled as discrete entities, and a continuous extracellular matrix composed of collagen and a ...

Mechanical forces regulate the interactions of fibronectin and collagen I in extracellular matrix [PDF]
, 2015 Despite the crucial role of extracellular matrix (ECM) in directing cell fate in healthy and diseased tissues--particularly in development, wound healing, tissue regeneration and cancer--the mechanisms that direct the assembly and regulate hierarchical ...
