Collagen density regulates the activity of tumor-infiltrating T cells [PDF]
Background Tumor progression is accompanied by dramatic remodeling of the surrounding extracellular matrix leading to the formation of a tumor-specific ECM, which is often more collagen-rich and of increased stiffness.

Cell jamming in a collagen-based interface assay is tuned by collagen density and proteolysis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Tumor cell invasion into heterogenous interstitial tissues consisting of network-, channel- or rift-like architectures involves both matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-mediated tissue remodeling and cell shape adaptation to tissue geometry.

The effect of red fruit oil (Pandanus conoideus Lamk.) emulgel on angiogenesis and collagen density in incisive wound healing in mice (Mus musculus) [PDF]
Pandanus conoideus Lamk. or commonly known as red fruit oil (RFO) can be used to accelerate wound healing because it contains tocopherols, carotenoids, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid.

Highly motile cells are metabolically responsive to collagen density. [PDF]
Altered tissue mechanics and metabolism have gained significant attention as drivers of tumorigenesis, and mechanoresponsive metabolism has been implicated in migration and metastasis. However, heterogeneity in cell populations makes it difficult to link changes in behavior with metabolism, as individual cell behaviors are not necessarily reflected in ...

Dual-Energy Computed Tomography Collagen Density Mapping of the Cranio-Cervical Ligaments—A Retrospective Feasibility Study [PDF]
The objectives of this study were to investigate the mean collagen content of the atlanto-axial joint (AAJ) ligaments in a cohort without inflammatory disease and to analyze clinical confounders such as age, sex, and presence of ligamentous ...

Reprogramming bone progenitor identity and potency through control of collagen density and oxygen tension [PDF]
Summary: The biophysical microenvironment of the cell is being increasingly used to control cell signaling and to direct cell function. Herein, engineered 3D tuneable biomimetic scaffolds are used to control the cell microenvironment of Adipose-derived ...

Mechanism of the effect of Piper crocatum extract on wound healing of Wistar rats post-excision mammary tumor based on IL-10 level, TGF-β1 expression, VEGF expression, Collagen density, and clinical features [PDF]
Background: The incidence of wound complications after breast cancer surgery is > 30%. Delayed wound healing increases the risk of systemic recurrence up to three-fold after excisional surgery for primary breast cancer. Patients with breast malignant

Collagen density promotes mammary tumor initiation and progression [PDF]
Background Mammographically dense breast tissue is one of the greatest risk factors for developing breast carcinoma. Despite the strong clinical correlation, breast density has not been causally linked to tumorigenesis, largely because no animal model ...
