Dermal 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 کاملAnalysis of Type I Collagen Products
Advanced BioMatrix offers a large number of extracellular matrix (ECM) and three dimensional (3D) scaffold products with one of the most extensive Type I collagen product offerings (see Exhibit 1). One analytical method for evaluating the quality, purity and consistency of the products is Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS PAGE electrophoresis). The purpose of the do...
متن کاملDigital image analysis of collagen assessment of progression of fibrosis in recurrent HCV after liver transplantation.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Histological assessment of fibrosis progression is currently performed by staging systems which are not continuous quantitative measurements. We aimed at assessing a quantitative measurement of fibrosis collagen proportionate area (CPA), to evaluate fibrosis progression and compare it to Ishak stage progression. METHODS We studied a consecutive cohort of 155 patients with re...
متن کاملMorphometric analysis of dermal collagen by color clusters segmentation.
Morphometric analysis of dermal collagen can provide quantitative support to dermatologic research. The authors of this article disclose a technique of digital image analysis which allows the identification of microscopic structures by color cluster segmentation regarding the estimate intensity and density of dermal collagen fibers.
متن کاملNanomechanics of Type I Collagen.
Type I collagen is the predominant collagen in mature tendons and ligaments, where it gives them their load-bearing mechanical properties. Fibrils of type I collagen are formed by the packing of polypeptide triple helices. Higher-order structures like fibril bundles and fibers are assembled from fibrils in the presence of other collagenous molecules and noncollagenous molecules. Curiously, howe...
