[Mechanism of medical collagen for soft tissue augmentation]
Abstract:
This paper reports the fate of medical collagen after injected into rats. It is highly purified collagen. The persistence of it in rats is more than one year. It was found that fibroblasts and capillaries grew into the injections. Picrosirius-polarization demonstrated that the ration of type I and type III collagen changed. Fine green fibers of type III collagen were predominant at the early stage. Twelve months after implantation, most collagen fibers appeared as thick brilliant red fibers of type I collagen.

01:11Fibril-associated Collagen
Fibril-associated collagens are a type of collagens present in the extracellular matrix with interrupted triple helices or FACIT (Fibril-associated collagens interrupted triple-helices). FACIT help connect and attach the collagen fibrils with each other as well as with other proteins of the extracellular matrix.
For example, the type II collagen fibrils in cartilage have covalently bound type IX fibril-associated collagens at regular intervals. Other types of fibril-associated collagens are...

01:28Phases of Wound Repair
Following injury, the integrity of the injured tissues must be reestablished. For example, in skin tissue, wound repair involves coordination among resident skin cells, blood mononuclear cells, extracellular matrix, growth factors, and cytokines to complete the healing cascade.
Formation of Blood Clot
In case of deep injuries, trauma to blood vessels results in blood loss. In the meantime, phospholipids released from the ruptured endothelial cellular membrane are converted into arachidonic...
