The immunohistochemical analysis of fibronectin, collagen type III, laminin, and cytokeratin 5 in putrified skin [PDF]
Fibronectin, collagen type III, laminin, and cytokeratin 5 were visualized in normal skin and in skin showing early or advanced signs of autolytic decomposition to prove whether the immunohistochemical analysis of these antigens can provide useful ...

Tendon is covered by a basement membrane epithelium that is required for cell retention and the prevention of adhesion formation [PDF]
The ability of tendons to glide smoothly during muscle contraction is impaired after injury by fibrous adhesions that form between the damaged tendon surface and surrounding tissues. To understand how adhesions form we incubated excised tendons in fibrin

Effect of Low-Temperature Plasma Jet on Thermal Stability and Physical Structure of Type I Collagen [PDF]
This work is devoted to the characterization of type I collagen treated by a low-temperature plasma jet generated in ambient air to determine whether the resulting fibrous material is structurally preserved or reinforced.

Functional Imaging of Proteolysis: Stromal and Inflammatory Cells Increase Tumor Proteolysis
The underlying basement membrane is degraded during progression of breast and colon carcinoma. Thus, we imaged degradation of a quenched fluorescent derivative of basement membrane type IV collagen (DQ-collagen IV) by living human breast and colon tumor ...

Collagen IV and basement membrane at the evolutionary dawn of metazoan tissues
The role of the cellular microenvironment in enabling metazoan tissue genesis remains obscure. Ctenophora has recently emerged as one of the earliest-branching extant animal phyla, providing a unique opportunity to explore the evolutionary role of the ...

Modulation of C1-Inhibitor and Plasma Kallikrein Activities by Type IV Collagen
The contact system of coagulation can be activated when in contact with biomaterials. As collagen is being tested in novel biomaterials in this study, we have investigated how type IV collagen affects plasma kallikrein and C1-inhibitor.

Distribution of α(IV) collagen chains in the ocular anterior segments of adult mice
ArticleThe distribution of the collagen chains from α1(IV) to α6(IV) could serve as a basis for the characterization of type IV collagen. In this study, immunohistochemistry of the ocular anterior segment of adult mice was performed using specific ...

Second harmonic generation confocal microscopy of collagen type I from rat tendon cryosections [PDF]
We performed second harmonic generation (SHG) imaging of collagen in rat-tendon cryosections, using femtosecond laser scanning confocal microscopy, both in backscattering and transmission geometries.
