Mini-Collagens in Hydra Nematocytes [PDF]
We have isolated and characterized four collagen-related c-DNA clones (N-COL 1, N-COL 2, N-COL 3, N-COL 4) that are highly expressed in developing nematocytes in hydra.

The recognition of collagen and triple-helical toolkit peptides by MMP-13: sequence specificity for binding and cleavage. [PDF]
Remodeling of collagen by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is crucial to tissue homeostasis and repair. MMP-13 is a collagenase with a substrate preference for collagen II over collagens I and III.

Tendon proper- and peritenon-derived progenitor cells have unique tenogenic properties. [PDF]
IntroductionMultipotent progenitor populations exist within the tendon proper and peritenon of the Achilles tendon. Progenitor populations derived from the tendon proper and peritenon are enriched with distinct cell types that are distinguished by ...

Chronic tendon pathology: molecular basis and therapeutic implications [PDF]
Tendons are frequently affected by chronic pain or rupture. Many causative factors have been implicated in the pathology, which until relatively recently was under-researched and poorly understood.

Differential Expression of Collagen Type V and XI α-1 in Human Ascending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms [PDF]
Background—The molecular mechanisms leading to ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms (ATAAs) remain unknown. We hypothesized that alterations in expression levels of specific fibrillar collagens occur during the aneurysmal process. Methods—Surgical samples
