Surface-sensitive Raman spectroscopy of collagen I fibrils.
Collagen fibrils are the main constituent of the extracellular matrix surrounding eukaryotic cells. Although the assembly and structure of collagen fibrils is well characterized, very little appears to be known about one of the key determinants of their biological function-namely, the physico-chemical properties of their surface. One way to obtain surface-sensitive structural and chemical data ...
متن کاملDermal type I collagen assessment by digital image analysis*
Type I collagen is the main dermal component, and its evaluation is relevant to quantitative studies in dermatopathology. However, visual gradation (0 to 4+) has low precision and high subjectivity levels. This study aimed to develop and validate a digital morphometric analysis technique to estimate type I collagen levels in the papillary dermis. Four evaluators visually quantified (0 to 4+) th...
متن کاملThe human type I collagen mutation database
Type I collagen is the most abundant and ubiquitously distributed of the collagen family of proteins. It is a heterotrimer comprising two alpha1(I) chains and one alpha2(I) chain which are encoded by the unlinked loci COL1A1 and COL1A2 respectively. Mutations at these loci result primarily in the connective tissue disorders osteogenesis imperfecta and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome types VIIA and VIIB....
متن کاملTissue-engineered recombinant human collagen-based corneal substitutes for implantation: performance of type I versus type III collagen.
PURPOSE To compare the efficacies of recombinant human collagens types I and III as corneal substitutes for implantation. METHODS Recombinant human collagen (13.7%) type I or III was thoroughly mixed with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide and N-hydroxysuccinimide. The final homogenous solution was either molded into sheets for in vitro studies or into implants with the appropriate...
متن کاملChanges in nuclei and peritumoral collagen within nodular basal cell carcinomas via confocal micro-Raman spectroscopy.
Confocal micro-Raman spectroscopy is used to probe the nuclei of normal human epidermal cells and epidermally derived cancer cells from nodular basal cell carcinomas. Clear differences are seen between the spectra. The nuclei of tumor cells appear to have different contributions from nucleic acids, histones, and proteins with an actin-like spectrum than those of normal epidermal cells. Changes ...
