Cirrhosis is a world wide, bad prognosis liver disease and characterized by excessive collagen deposition and liver function damage. view more (2009-05-13)
Collagen injections can help some incontinence patients when surgery fails, researcher finds
Collagen injections can benefit women who still suffer from stress urinary incontinence (SUI) even after urethral or periurethral surgery, a UT Southwestern Medical Center researcher has found. view more (2009-03-17)
Antifibrotic effects of green tea
Several studies have shown that lipid peroxidation stimulates collagen production in fibroblasts and hepatic stellate cells (HSC), and plays an important role in the development of liver fibrosis. view more (2009-11-18)
Pimp my meatballs — Collagen injections safeguard nutrients
Injecting meatballs with collagen can help the meat to retain the important nutrients iodine and thiamine, a new study by researchers from the Agricultural University of Poznan in Poland shows. view more (2007-04-17)
New Dressing For Wounds Developed At Hebrew University Promises Faster And Improved Healing
A novel wound dressing made of genetically engineered human collagen that will enable faster and improved healing of injuries has been developed by researchers at the Hebrew University Faculty of Dental Medicine. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the animal kingdom, including humans. It is the major constituent of connective tissues -... view more... (2004-01-19)
Sun-damaged skin does not improve with estrogen treatments
Treating the skin with estrogen can stimulate collagen production-which improves the appearance of the skin-in areas not typically exposed to the sun, according to new research from the University of Michigan Health System. view more (2008-09-16)
Inflammation worsens danger due to atherosclerosis
Current research suggests that inflammation increases the risk of plaque rupture in atherosclerosis. The related report by Ovchinnikova et al, "T cell activation leads to reduced collagen maturation in atherosclerotic plaques of ApoE-deficient- mice," appears in the February 2009 issue of The American Journal of Pathology. view more (2009-01-23)
A special type of collagen may help protect the brain against Alzheimer's disease
Scientists from the Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease (GIND), UCSF, and Stanford have discovered that a certain type of collagen, collagen VI, protects brain cells against amyloid-beta (Aβ ) proteins, which are widely thought to cause Alzheimer's disease (AD). view more (2008-12-11)

Modified collagen could yield important medical applications
Collagen often pops up in beauty products and supermodel lips. But by mating collagen with a molecular hitchhiker, materials scientists at Johns Hopkins hope to create some important medical advances. view more (2005-08-31)
Wisconsin scientists find a way to make human collagen in the lab
Of all of the materials that make up our bodies, nothing is more ubiquitous than collagen. view more (2006-02-14)
Reexamination of T. rex verifies disputed biochemical remains
A new analysis of the remains of a Tyrannosaurus rex (T. rex) that roamed Earth 68 million years ago has confirmed traces of protein from blood and bone, tendons, or cartilage. view more (2009-07-29)
Passover's matzoh ball soup may be good for your health
With the Jewish holiday of Passover beginning at sundown next Wednesday, April 8, a staple of the traditional dinner -- chicken soup with matzoh balls -- may take on medicinal importance based on findings published in the American Chemical Society's Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. view more (2009-04-03)
Cartilage discovery offers arthritis hope
Scientists have revealed the intricate structure of cartilage in what they hope will provide clues to how the crippling joint disease osteoarthritis might one day be treated. view more (2007-01-11)
GROWTH FACTOR HEALS WOUNDS
Russian physicians suggested a new way of wound treatment with substances released by the human or animal body itself. There is no way of wound treatment that would satisfy all surgeons. Doctors permanently define more precisely processes occurring in wound so the theory outruns the treatment techniques. Recently scientists have investigate the... view more... (2000-12-01)
Durability of dental fillings improves if the enzyme activity of teeth is inhibited
Composite dental fillings have one problematic feature, in that the bond between the filling and the dental tissue deteriorates over time - in fact, sometimes by as much as 50 per cent in one year. As the bond deteriorates, it may allow bacteria to enter and this brings a high risk of further tooth decay. view more (2009-02-12)
A potential therapeutic agent for hepatic fibrosis
Accumulating evidence suggests that connective tissue growth factor (CCN2) plays a central role in fibrotic conditions in many organ systems. view more (2009-08-26)
Salutary Properties Of Thick Broth
L.A. Lyapina and her colleagues from the Department of Human and Animal Physiology of the Moscow State University have revealed that collagen products rich in proline are necessary for a successful performance of many vital processes in the body. The most common protein of vertebrate animals is collagen; collagenous fibres are found in skin,... view more... (2003-02-20)
Injection of 'skin filler' material appears to stimulate collagen production
Injections with "dermal fillers" containing hyaluronic acid appear to stimulate production of collagen, a primary protein in the skin, and may partially restore the structure of sun-damaged skin, according to an article in the February issue of Archives of Dermatology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2007-02-20)
Stress causes parodontis
Under stress, major proteins get actively destroyed in the parodentium. According to biologists' data, chronical stress inhibits the osseous tissue maturing process and intensifies decomposition of collagen protein and proteoglycans with the animals non-resistant to stress. Stress intensifies hydrolysis of proteins, which make the basis of the... view more... (2003-09-26)
