Effects of decorin proteoglycan on fibrillogenesis, ultrastructure, and mechanics of type I collagen gels
{{output}}
The proteoglycan decorin is known to affect both the fibrillogenesis and the resulting ultrastructure of in vitro polymerized collagen gels. However, little is known about its effects on mechanical properties. In this study, 3D collagen gels were polymerized i... ...
