Influence of collagen type II and nucleus pulposus cells on aggregation and differentiation of adipose tissue-derived stem cells [PDF]
Tissue microenvironment plays a critical role in guiding local stem cell differentiation. Within the intervertebral disc, collagen type II and nucleus pulposus (NP) cells are two major components.

A quantitative study of the relationship between the distribution of different types of collagen and the mechanical behavior of rabbit medial collateral ligaments. [PDF]
The mechanical properties of ligaments are key contributors to the stability and function of musculoskeletal joints. Ligaments are generally composed of ground substance, collagen (mainly type I and III collagen), and minimal elastin fibers.

Immunohistochemical localization of collagen types I and VI in human skin wounds [PDF]
A total of 74 human skin wounds were investigated and collagen types I and VI were localized in the wound area by immunohistochemistry. Collagen type I appeared in the form of ramifying string-like structures after approximately 5–6 days, but positive ...

Chondrocyte Migration to Fibronectin, Type I Collagen, and Type II Collagen.
It is well known that cellular interactions, such as cell adhesion, migration, invasion, between cells and the extracellular matrix are mediated by the integrin family of cell surface receptors. Chondrocytes are surrounded by an abundant extracellular matrix, but there is less information on the cellular receptors which interact with this matrix.

Thermal (In)Stability of Type I Collagen Fibrils [PDF]
We measured Young's modulus at temperatures ranging from 20 to 100 ^{\circ}$C for a collagen fibril taken from rat's tendon. The hydration change under heating and the damping decrement were measured as well. At physiological temperatures $25-45^{\circ}$C Young's modulus decreases, which can be interpreted as instability of collagen.

Application of Collagen I and IV in Bioengineering Transparent Ocular Tissues
Collagens represent a major group of structural proteins expressed in different tissues and display distinct and variable properties. Whilst collagens are non-transparent in the skin, they confer transparency in the cornea and crystalline lens of the eye.

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

Aging and the Impact of Solar Ultraviolet Radiation on the Expression of Type I and Type VI Collagen
Both endogenous and exogenous factors cause skin aging. This study aimed to compare the differential expressions of collagen type I (COL I) and collagen type VI (COL VI) in skins with biological aging and photoaging.

Recessive osteogenesis imperfecta caused by LEPRE1 mutations: clinical documentation and identification of the splice form responsible for prolyl 3-hydroxylation [PDF]
: Background: Recessive forms of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) may be caused by mutations in LEPRE1, encoding prolyl 3-hydroxylase-1 (P3H1) or in CRTAP, encoding cartilage associated protein.
