Collagen: quantification, biomechanics and role of minor subtypes in cartilage
Collagen is a ubiquitous biomaterial in vertebrate animals. Although each of its 28 subtypes contributes to the functions of many different tissues in the body, most studies on collagen or collagenous tissues have focused on only one or two subtypes ...

Type V Collagen in Scar Tissue Regulates the Size of Scar after Heart Injury
Summary Scar tissue size following myocardial infarction is an independent predictor of cardiovascular outcomes, yet little is known about factors regulating scar size. We demonstrate that collagen V, a minor constituent of heart scars regulates the size

Regulation of Collagen I and Collagen III in Tissue Injury and Regeneration
The structure of connective tissues including cartilage, tendons, and ligaments as well as many organs, like the skin, heart, liver, kidney, lungs, blood vessels, and bones, depend on collagen.
