Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) used to be a rare pregnancy condition, but it now affects roughly 14,000 pregnancies annually ...

As people grow older, the body makes less of this protein. However, taking a supplement does not necessarily reverse signs of ...

Collagen isn’t just a skincare buzzword—it’s the structural protein that quite literally holds you together. It makes up a ...

Collagen, the most abundant protein in mammals, owes its remarkable strength and resilience to a unique triple helical structure. This conformation is formed by three intertwined polypeptide chains ...

Collagen, the body’s most abundant protein, has long been viewed as a predictable structural component of tissues. However, a new study led by Rice University’s Jeffrey Hartgerink and Tracy Yu, in ...

A new study provides the first evidence in humans that altered collagen structure affects tissue stiffness during progression of lung fibrosis, suggesting potential approaches for treating the ...

Collagen is a major protein which is found in connective tissues and the extracellular matrix (ECM). Helical in structure, at least 27 types of collagen have been identified in the human body, with ...

The proximal thread matrix protein 1 (PTMP1) could be localized exclusively in the proximal byssus section and extracted and purified therefrom 11. The protein appeared to be glycosylated by α-D-manno ...

Liquid collagen is easy to pour into beverages and onto food without clumping. You can also drink it straight in what's known ...

Scientists in Anant Madabhushi's lab have used artificial intelligence (AI) to identify new biomarkers for breast cancer that can predict whether the cancer will return after treatment—and which can ...

The researchers used advanced cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to determine the atomic structure of a packed collagen assembly that deviates from the traditionally accepted right-handed superhelical ...
