No other tissue in the body depends more on the composition and organization of the
extracellular matrix (ECM) for normal structure and function than the corneal stroma. The …

This article outlines the principles of radiobiology that can explain the time of onset, duration,
and severity of the complex reactions of the lung to ionizing radiation. These reactions have …

The content of type I and III collagen in normal human skin from subjects of different ages
was studied by means of a new high performance liquid chromatography method and by …

Tropocollagen types I and III were simultaneously fibrilized in vitro, and the differences
between the geometric and mechanical properties of the heterotypic fibrils with different …

In the past it has been proven difficult to separate and characterize collagen from muscle
because of its relative paucity in this tissue. The present report presents a comprehensive …

The collagen content of the media of infrarenal aorta has been compared in age-and sex-
matched normal aorta and dilated and nondilated atherosclerotic aorta. The proportion of …

The types of collagen components extracted from human aortas by repeated pepsin
digestion were investigated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), after …

The collagens were studied in 13 normal and 19 myxomatous human mitral valves. The
collagens of the valve were completely solubilized by using a method consisting of …

Previous studies of the age-related changes in interstitial collagens, have suggested that the
proportion of type III collagen compared with type I decreases with age. In this study …

Background—Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) induce reverse remodeling of the
failing heart except for the extracellular matrix, which exhibits additional pathophysiological …
