Induced connective tissue metabolism in vivo: reutilization of pre-existing collagen.

Induced connective tissue metabolism in vivo: reutilization of pre-existing collagen.

Light and electron microscopy of resorbing connective tissues have shown that the collagen fibers and fibrils disappear. It is usually presumed that resorbed collagen is degraded proteolytically to hydroxyproline-containing peptides and to free amino acids, including hydroxyproline. We wish to present evidence that collagen can be resorbed and then reutilized without such breakdown. Urinary exc...

Physiological Conditions Existing in Connective Tissue

The interstitial movement of several dyes of widely different chemical constitution and diffusibility, in the connective tissues of the mouse ear, has been observed at high magnification. Dye extension seems to be conditioned by the form and structure of the connective tissue fibers. After escaping from the lymphatics of the ears of living mice, each dye appeared first in the tissues as bristly...

Collagen genes and inherited connective tissue disease.

Since it was established that defects in collagen metabolism were associated with inherited connective tissue disease (McKusick, 1972), considerable effort has been put into discovering the molecular basis of these genetic disorders. Up to 5 years ago a link between structural mutations in collagen genes and inherited connective tissue disease was considered likely, but there was little direct ...
