1 Dec 2000
Abstract excerpt
Type I collagen is the major component of many extracellular matrices, and its accumulation characterizes most fibrotic processes. It is synthesized by a small number of discrete cell types, including fibroblasts, osteoblasts and odontoblasts. Analysis of transgenic mice harbouring different segments of the promoters of the mouse pro-alpha1 (I) and pro-alpha2 (I) genes has led to the conclusion that this...
