Three-dimensional organotypic matrices from alternative collagen sources as pre-clinical models for cell biology.... Using the well-established rat tail tendon collagen as a benchmark, we apply our novel kangaroo tail tendon collagen as an alternative collagen source for our screening-ready three-dimensional organotypic co-culture...
A novel 3-hydroxyproline (3hyp)-rich motif marks the triple-helical c terminus of tendon type i collagen*Because of its unique physical and chemical properties, rat tail tendon collagen has long been favored for crystallographic and biochemical studies of fibril structure....
The purification and amino acid composition of human uterus collagens, rheumatoid-arthritis-nodule collagen and ox tendon collagen... The amino acid compositions of all the collagens studied were similar to those of human bone and tendon collagen, but certain small differences were noted and are discussed....
Tendon collagen synthesis at rest and after exercise in women... We hypothesized that in women rates of tendon collagen synthesis would be lower than in men at rest and after exercise, especially in the later luteal phase when estrogen and progesterone concentrations are higher ...
