## Abstract The deposition of insoluble functional collagen occurs following extracellular proteolytic processing of procollagens by procollagen Nβ and Cβproteinases, fibril formation, and lysyl oxidase dependent crossβlinking. Procollagen Cβproteinases in addition process and activate lysyl oxidas
## Abstract The interactions of osteoblasts with their surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM) are essential for skeletal development, homeostasis, and maintenance of the mature osteoblastic phenotype. Integrins are the principal transducers of ECM signals that regulate this process of osteoblast co
Cross-linking of collagen-based biomaterials increases their strength and persistence in vivo. Recently, we described an efficient cross-linking process via the formation of acyl azide groups on methylated carboxyl groups of collagen using hydrazine and nitrous acid (referred to here as the hydrazin
