Abstract

IN the early stages of collagen fibrogenesis, soluble forms of collagen can be extracted with salt solutions; as the tissue develops, dilute acids and acidic buffers are needed. Eventually these reagents also become ineffective as a relatively insoluble form of collagen is elaborated. This transformation or “maturing” is believed to be caused by an increase in the number of intramolecular and intermolecular cross-links1.
