## Abstract Using collagenase digestion as an assay for collagen in partially synchronized secondary cultures of chick embryo fibroblasts, we find that the rate of collagen synthesis remains at a constant fraction of overall protein synthesis (5%) regardless of the growth rate of the cells even whe

The growth and morphology as well as collagen biosynthesis of human fibroblasts obtained and cultured on sepiolite-collagen complexes have been studied. No differences on cell morphology and growth properties nor collagen synthesis were observed when compared with standard culture substrates. The type I/type 111 ratio of biosynthesized collagen by fibroblasts cul-tured on sepiolite-collagen complexes was about 5-6 with no difference when compared to control conditions. This normal behavior was also observed for the type I/ type 111 procollagens. According to these studies the sepiolite-collagen complexes do not modify the studied features of the fibroblasts.
