Collagen, the body's most abundant protein, has long been viewed as a predictable structural component of tissues. However, a ...

In this way we could compare the experimental data — a fiber X-ray diffraction pattern of a collagen fiber — with the data obtained from the model and could see that there were no steric ...

In the new research, they found that cells migrated more than 50% faster on aligned collagen fibers than on random fibers. In addition, they found that cells use aligned fibers as directional cues ...

Collagen is the primary building block of your body's skin, muscles, bones and more. But it's hard to keep the levels in check because as you age, your body's collagen levels naturally decline.
