Structure and pathogenicity of antibodies specific for citrullinated collagen type II in experimental arthritis [PDF]
Antibodies to citrulline-modifi ed proteins have a high diagnostic value in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, their biological role in disease development is still unclear.

Nonuniform distribution of collagen density in human knee ligaments
AbstractIt is generally recognized that the mechanical properties of soft connective tissues are affected by their structural components. We documented collagen density distributions in human knee ligaments to quantify differences in density within and between these ligaments.

Influence of cell density on collagen biosynthesis in fibroblast cultures [PDF]
Characteristic features of collagen metabolism in human skin fibroblasts were studied in relation to cell density. Measuring peptide-bound hydroxyproline we found that collagen synthesis per cell decreased when cultures approached confluency. On the other hand, the relative rate of collagen synthesis (collagen/total protein) was higher in quiescent ...

Physical and Chemical Characterization of Biomineralized Collagen with Different Microstructures
Mineralized collagen is the basic unit in hierarchically organized natural bone with different structures. Polyacrylic acid (PAA) and periodic fluid shear stress (FSS) are the most common chemical and physical means to induce intrafibrillar ...

Annular Repair Using High-Density Collagen Gel [PDF]
Animal in vivo study.To test the capability of high-density collagen gel to repair annular defects.Annular defects are associated with spontaneous disc herniations and disc degeneration, which can lead to significant morbidity. Persistent annular defects after surgical discectomies can increase reherniation rates.

Immune Modulatory Properties of Collagen in Cancer
During tumor growth the extracellular matrix (ECM) undergoes dramatic remodeling. The normal ECM is degraded and substituted with a tumor-specific ECM, which is often of higher collagen density and increased stiffness.

Improved Profiles of Electron Density Distribution Along Collagen Fibrils
In order to evaluate fully the meaning of small-angle X-ray diffraction data from collagen fibers in terms of the distribution of molecular substance along fibrillar axes, it is necessary to have some means of determining the phase angles of the several components of the axial diffraction series for combination with measured amplitudes in the ...
