Collagen type II: From biosynthesis to advanced biomaterials for cartilage engineering [PDF]
Collagen type II is the major constituent of cartilage tissue. Yet, cartilage engineering approaches are primarily based on collagen type I devices that are associated with suboptimal functional therapeutic outcomes. Herein, we briefly describe cartilage'

A COL2A1 Mutation in Achondrogenesis Type II Results in the Replacement of Type II Collagen by Type I and III Collagens in Cartilage [PDF]
An autosomal dominant mutation in the COL2A1 gene was identified in a fetus with achondrogenesis type II. A transition of G2853 to A in exon 41 produced a substitution of Gly769 by Ser within the triple helical domain of the alpha 1(II) chain of type II collagen, interrupting the mandatory Gly-X-Y triplet sequence required for the normal formation of ...

Undenatured type II collagen for knee osteoarthritis
Introduction: Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) leads to significant pain and reduced function and affects patients’ overall quality of life (QoL). Conservative modalities are the first line of management, resorting to surgery only if they fail.

Type II collagen quantification in experimental chondrogenesis
Type II collagen is an excellent indicator of the cartilage phenotype. Accurate quantification with existing methods requires about 100 micrograms of collagen. We have developed a method which allows for accurate quantification of type II collagen in samples as small as 1 microgram (and sample volumes as little as 1 microliters).

Micronutrient optimization for tissue engineered articular cartilage production of type II collagen
Tissue Engineering of cartilage has been hampered by the inability of engineered tissue to express native levels of type II collagen in vitro. Inadequate levels of type II collagen are, in part, due to a failure to recapitulate the physiological ...

Dynamic compression inhibits cytokine-mediated type II collagen degradation
Objective: To examine the effect of dynamic compressive loading applied intermittently on bovine cartilage explants stimulated with proinflammatory cytokines over 21 days. Design: Cartilage explants were cultured for 21 days with Oncostatin M and TNFα (O

Altered collagen I and premature pulmonary embryonic differentiation in patients with OI type II
Pulmonary hypoplasia and respiratory failure are primary causes of death in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) type II. OI is a genetic skeletal disorder caused by pathogenic variants in genes encoding collagen type I.
