Characterisation of the 3'-UTR of the COL5A1 gene: implication for musculoskeletal soft tissue injuries [PDF]
, 2015 COL5A1 encodes the α1 chain of type V collagen, a minor fibrillar collagen that is an important regulator of collagen fibril assembly. A polymorphism (rs12722, C/T) within the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of COL5A1 is associated with chronic Achilles ...

Molecular and cellular basis of Exogen and Anagen induction [PDF]
, 2007 The hair follicle has the unique capacity to pass through periods of growth, regression and rest before regenerating itself to restart the cycle. This dynamic cycling capacity enables animals to change their coats, and for hair length to be controlled at
