Human fibroblast behavior on echinoderm-derived fibrillar collagen substrates [PDF]
, 2015 Soluble bovine collagen is one of the most used protein to prepare substrates and scaffolds for cell culture and biomedical applications mainly due to its high bio-compatibility. Nevertheless, it lacks the native fibrillar conformation typically found in
