Collagen is a ubiquitous biomaterial in vertebrate animals. Although each of its 28 subtypes
contributes to the functions of many different tissues in the body, most studies on collagen or …

Extracellular matrix (ECM) is a non-cellular three-dimensional macromolecular network
composed of collagens, proteoglycans/glycosaminoglycans, elastin, fibronectin, laminins …

INTRODUCTION The components of bone assemble hierarchically to provide stiffness and
toughness. Deciphering the specific organization and relationship between bone's principal …

Biomineralization is a dynamic, complex, lifelong process by which living organisms control
precipitations of inorganic nanocrystals within organic matrices to form unique hybrid …

Collagen mineralization is a biological process in many skeletal elements in the animal
kingdom. Examples of these collagen‐based skeletons are the siliceous spicules of glass …

Osteogenesis imperfecta is a phenotypically and molecularly heterogeneous group of
inherited connective tissue disorders that share similar skeletal abnormalities causing bone …

With its wide distribution in soft and hard connective tissues, collagen is the most abundant
of animal proteins. In vitro, natural collagen can be formed into highly organized, three …

This review reports recent advances in the field of the blends of natural and synthetic
polymers as new biomaterials. These materials have attracted both academic, and, for …

Collagen is the principal biopolymer in the extracellular matrix of both vertebrates and
invertebrates. It is produced in specialized cells (fibroblasts) and extracted into the body by a …

Collagen constitutes one-third of the human proteome, providing mechanical stability,
elasticity, and strength to organisms and is the prime construction material in biology …
