Fibroblasts were cultured from skin biopsies of patients with systemic sclerosis in different stages of the disease. In vitro synthesis of collagen was checked after a pulse with tritiated proline. The ratio between type I and type III collagen was normal in all patients. Six of seven cultures derived from patients in the active state showed an increased

Research by Dr Raul Fleischmajer and Colleague
Abstract
The collagen in localized and systemic scleroderma skin was studied by light microscopy with silver impregnation (50 patients), electron microscopy (14 patients), and immunofluorescence microscopy using specific antibodies against Type I and Type III collagens (12 patients

By Sebastian Kalamajski and Åke Oldberg
Abstract
Small leucine-rich proteoglycans/proteins (SLRPs) are associated with collagen fibril formation, and therefore... of connective tissue properties.
The binding of SLRPs to collagens have recently been characterized, and may give some clues to the significance of these interactions. In this mini
