Mechanical behavior of osteoporotic bone at sub-lamellar length scales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Osteoporosis is a disease known to promote bone fragility but the effect on the mechanical properties of bone material, which is independent of geometric effects, is particularly unclear.

Nonenzymatic Glycosylation Products on Collagen Covalently Trap Low-Density Lipoprotein [PDF]

open access: yesDiabetes, 1985
Advanced nonenzymatic glycosylation products capable of cross-linking proteins accumulate on collagen in vivo in proportion to time-averaged blood glucose concentration. In this report, we have evaluated the ability of advanced nonenzymatic glycosylation productsformed on collagen in vitro to covalently bind low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in a manner ...

Structure-mechanics relationships of collagen fibrils in the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Mouse model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The collagen molecule, which is the building block of collagen fibrils, is a triple helix of two α1(I) chains and one α2(I) chain. However, in the severe mouse model of osteogenesis imperfecta (OIM), deletion of the COL1A2 gene results in the ...

The effects of shark liver oil on fibroblasts and collagen density in the periodontal ligaments of Wistar rats induced with Porphyromonas gingivalis

open access: yesDental Journal, 2019
Background: Periodontitis is an infection in tooth-supporting tissues caused by a specific microorganism, Porphyromonas Gingivalis (PG), which can trigger collagen destruction.

Alginate Conjugation Increases Toughness in Auricular Chondrocyte Seeded Collagen Hydrogels

open access: yesBioengineering, 2023
Current auricular cartilage replacements for pediatric microtia fail to address the need for long-term integration and neocartilage formation. While collagen hydrogels have been successful in fostering neocartilage formation, the toughness and ...

Preconditioning of mesenchymal stromal cells with low-intensity ultrasound: influence on chondrogenesis and directed SOX9 signaling pathways [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Background: Continuous low-intensity ultrasound (cLIUS) facilitates the chondrogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in the absence of exogenously added transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ) by upregulating the expression of ...

COX-2 modulates mammary tumor progression in response to collagen density. [PDF]

open access: yesBreast Cancer Res, 2016
High breast density is linked to an increased risk of breast cancer, and correlates with changes in collagen. In a mouse model of mammary carcinoma in the context of increased collagen deposition, the MMTV-PyMT/Col1a1 (tm1jae) , there is accelerated mammary tumor formation and progression.

Low Density Lipoproteins Modulate Collagen Metabolism in Fibroblasts

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2003
High levels of low-density lipoprotein are associated with atherosclerosis, and myocardial and arterial remodeling. We postulated that low-density lipoprotein influences collagen synthesis and degradation in fibroblasts as a potential mechanism of tissue remodeling.

Tissue engineering a fetal membrane [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The aim of this study was to construct an artificial fetal membrane (FM) by combination of human amniotic epithelial stem cells (hAESCs) and a mechanically enhanced collagen scaffold containing encapsulated human amniotic stromal fibroblasts (hASFs ...
