Experimental investigation of early assessment of corpora cavernosa fibrosis with two-dimensional shear wave elastography

open access: yesAsian Journal of Andrology, 2022
This study explored the usefulness of two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) in the early assessment of corpora cavernosa fibrosis (CCF). New Zealand male rabbits were randomly assigned to an experimental group or a control group.

Tendinopathy—from basic science to treatment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Chronic tendon pathology (tendinopathy), although common, is difficult to treat. Tendons possess a highly organized fibrillar matrix, consisting of type I collagen and various 'minor' collagens, proteoglycans and glycoproteins.

Multiple antigenic determinants on type III collagen [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 1991
Eight monoclonal antibodies have been produced against human pepsin-soluble type III collagen. All antibodies were shown to be highly specific for type III collagen and did not cross-react with a range of other collagen types or connective-tissue proteins. Examination of type III collagen from other species showed that these antibodies had a wide range

Collagen Characterization in a Model of Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis with Fibrosis; A Call for Development of Targeted Therapeutics

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
Left untreated, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease can progress to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), fibrosis, and end-stage liver disease. To date, few if any therapies have proven effective against NASH with fibrosis.

Multifactor complex containing B element binding factor, BBF, and repressors regulate the human alpha 1(III) collagen gene (COL3A1). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Type III collagen is found in fetal skin and blood vessels. Previously, we characterized the proximal promoter of the human alpha1(III) collagen gene (COL3A1) using the human rhabdomyosarcoma cell line, A204, and NIH3T3 cells (Yoshino et al., Biochim ...

The novel missense mutation Met48Lys in FKBP22 changes its structure and functions. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Mutations in the FKBP14 gene encoding FKBP22 (FK506 Binding Protein 22 kDa) cause kyphoscoliotic Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (kEDS). The first clinical report showed that a lack of FKBP22 protein due to mutations causing nonsense-mediated decay of the mRNA ...

Genotype-phenotype correlation study in 364 osteogenesis imperfecta Italian patients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic disorder of the connective tissue and 90% of cases are due to dominant mutations in COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes.

Increased expression of collagens, transforming growth factor-β1, and -β3 in gluteal muscle contracture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Backgroud Gluteal muscle contracture (GMC) is a multi-factor human chronic fibrotic disease of the gluteal muscle. Fibrotic tissue is characterized by excessive accumulation of collagen in the muscle's extracellular matrix.

Toward the biochemical assessment of myocardial fibrosis in hypertensive patients [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
The serum concentrations of amino-terminal procollagen type III and carboxy-terminal procollagen type I-derived peptides, which have been proposed as useful markers of the tissue synthesis of collagen types III and type I, respectively, were abnormally ...
