Collagen and Its Modifications-Crucial Aspects with Concern to Its Processing and Analysis

Abstract: Many connective tissue diseases and defects are associated with poor synthesis or excessive degradation of collagen. The modern tissue engineering approach is to replace the defective site via the implantation of a biocompatible scaffold which serves as a carrier for cell incorporation, proliferation, and growth. Collagen is widely used in the field of clinical medicine in connection with both hard and soft tissue applications. However, certain collagen properties such as poor dimensional stability, poor in vi… Show more

“…Modification of collagen is primarily limited by availability of accessible functional groups, e.g., free amines, thus requiring more complex modification strategies to generate the desired macromers. [ 11–14 ] Collagen exhibits thermal gelation reversibility, limited mechanical strength, batch‐to‐batch variability, and high cost. To address these disadvantages, collagen triple helices can be denatured or chemically modified.…”

“…The other advantage of ovine-based CECM dressing is that it can shield itself from noxious matrix metallopeptidase (MMP) activity present in the chronic wound microenvironment cushioned by its broad-spectrum buffering capacity for proteolytic collagenases and gelatinase [ 13 ]. Nevertheless, the downsides of collagen are mainly poor structural stability and mechanical properties [ 14 , 15 ]. An alternative of cross-linking the collagen may improve the tensile strength, and incorporation of additional biomaterial to form hybrid or composite ovine-based collagen dressing may further impart its mechanical characteristics.…”

“…These include a) the interactions with other ECM proteins and soluble proteins (interactors), b) the interaction with cell surface receptors, and c) post-translational modifications (i.e, in collagen type I, the O -glycosylation at the hydroxylysine residues). Data reported in the literature on collagen triple helix formation [18] suggests that the glycosylation of collagen chains has an important contribution to surface roughness variations in cell–ECM and ECM–ECM interaction [19,20]. As verified by AFM analysis, morphological changes in neoglycosylated collagen could have an influence on both the inter-molecular and inter-fibrillar interactions of the triple-helical domain of collagen films, contributing also to the improved biological activity of the produced films.…”
