Confined compression of collagen hydrogels [PDF]
Reconstituted collagen hydrogels are often used for in vitro studies of cell-matrix interaction and as scaffolds for tissue engineering. Understanding the mechanical and transport behaviours of collagen hydrogels is therefore extremely important, albeit ...

Mathematical modeling of collagen turnover in biological tissue [PDF]
The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00285-012-0613-yWe present a theoretical and computational model for collagen turnover in soft biological tissues. Driven by alterations in the mechanical environment, collagen

Mechanical forces regulate the interactions of fibronectin and collagen I in extracellular matrix [PDF]
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 ...

The Structures of Collagen [PDF]
Collagen is the name given to a very important group of similar, but not identical, components of human and other animal bodies. It is the principal component of our skin and of the connective tissue holding different parts of our bodies together. There has been a large amount of research, by many good scientists, on the structures of collagen, but I ...

Biological implications of a discrete mathematical model for collagen deposition and alignment in dermal wound repair [PDF]
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 ...
