Contribution of collagen XIII to lung function and development of pulmonary fibrosis
BMJ Open Respiratory Research, 2023 Background Collagen XIII is a transmembrane collagen associated with neuromuscular junction development, and in humans its deficiency results in congenital myasthenic syndrome type 19 (CMS19), which leads to breathing difficulties. CMS19 patients usually

Severity classification in cases of Collagen VI-related myopathy with Convolutional Neural Networks and handcrafted texture features [PDF]
2022 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP),
Bordeaux, France, 2022 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive tool for the clinical assessment of low-prevalence neuromuscular disorders. Automated diagnosis methods might reduce the need for biopsies and provide valuable information on disease follow-up. In this paper, three methods are proposed to classify target muscles in Collagen VI-related myopathy cases ...

Organization and collagen volume density of the gingiva in the patients with periodontitis [PDF]
Praxis Medica, 2015 Collagen is a major constituent of the gingival extracellular matrix, which crucially affects the histoarchitecture of the gingival tissue. Collagen type I dominates the gingival tissue, while type II, III and IV are present to a lesser extent.

Turnover of type I and III collagen predicts progression of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Respiratory Research, 2021 Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by the accumulation of fibrillar collagens in the alveolar space resulting in reduced pulmonary function and a high mortality rate.
