Figure 1. The effects of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) on the expressions of type I procollagen, matrix metalloprotease (MMP)-1, tissue inhibitor of metalloprotease (TIMP)-1 proteins in human dermal fibroblasts. Human dermal fibroblast cultures were treated with 10, 50, and 100 μM DHEA for 72...
In addition to the use of intact natural tissues, a great deal of research has focused on the use of purified natural extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules, which can be modified to serve as appropri- ate scaffolding [11]. ECM molecules, such as laminin, fibronectin and collagen have also ...
Collagen fibril interactions with cells and macromolecules in the extracellular matrix drive numerous cellular functions. Binding motifs for dozens of collagen-binding proteins have been determined on fully exposed collagen triple helical monomers. Howev
Composites were fabricated by embedding parallel collagen fibers within a poly(lactic acid) (PLA) or collagen matrix. The mechanical properties, resorption rates, and subcutaneous tissue reactions were determined for both types of composites. The tensile strength and modulus of collagen-PLA composites ...
Specifically, we used type I collagen gels to study the effects of matrix properties on collagen fiber response to acupuncture needle rotation. We subjected gels with different collagen concentrations and degrees of crosslinking to computer-controlled needle rotation and used polarized light imaging to ...
To summarize the current status of the progress made in bringing these processes to industrial scales, we used a matrix (Table4) to outline strengths and weaknesses of recombinant silk and recombinant collagen microbial processes, opportunities and threats—when compared to animal-derived production. ...

Collagen, the major structural protein of the extracellular matrix in animals, is a versatile biomaterial used in various tissue engineering applications. Cross-linking influences the mechanical properties, resorption kinetics, and biocompatibility of collagen-based biomaterials. In this study, we evaluated...
