Designed triple-helical peptides as tools for collagen biochemistry and matrix engineering
20 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
Collagens, characterized by a unique triple-helical structure, are the predominant component of extracellular matrices (ECMs) existing in all multicellular animals. Collagens not only maintain structural integrity of tissues and organs, but also regulate a number of biological events, including cell attachment, migration and differentiation, tissue regeneration and animal development. The specific functions of...
