Hydrogels have been widely investigated in biomedical fields due to their similar physical
and biochemical properties to the extracellular matrix (ECM). Collagen and hyaluronic acid …

Collagen is the oldest and most abundant extracellular matrix protein that has found many
applications in food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and biomedical industries. First, an overview …

Articular cartilage is a connective tissue consisting of a specialized extracellular matrix
(ECM) that dominates the bulk of its wet and dry weight. Type II collagen and aggrecan are …

The tools of recombinant protein expression are now being used to provide recombinant
sources of both collagen and gelatin. The primary focus of this review is to discuss …

To overcome the limitations of traditionally used autografts, allografts and, to a lesser extent,
synthetic materials, there is the need to develop a new generation of scaffolds with adequate …

In this chapter, we discuss the current understanding of the family of matrix macromolecules
that are classified as collagens. Reference is made to reviews and recent papers to provide …

This paper presents a review of the current understanding of the structure, self-assembly
mechanisms, and properties of mineralized collagen fibril composites in connective tissues …

Opportunities for exploiting the inherent value of protein-rich meat processing co-products,
in the context of increased global demand for protein and for sustainable processing …

Objective To study whether Dickkopf (DKK)-1, an inhibitor of wingless (Wnt) signalling, is
involved in the fusion of sacroiliac joints. Methods Mice transgenic for tumour necrosis factor …

Collagen, which is often used in healthcare materials and biomedical research, is largely
extracted from animal sources. Recombinant human collagen has the potential to be a …
