## Abstract To function properly in the rigorous tissue environment, implanted scaffolds for tissue engineering are required to meet certain standards of strength and mechanical integrity. However, the soft nature and moisture condition of biomaterials impose great challenges to many existing techn

Abstract
XβPLOR modelling of collagen dimers containing GlyβGluβArg in each chain has been carried out. The interaction between molecules when two Gly_GluβArg are present on each chain is found to be substantially less than two times that obtained with one per chain, implying that relative tilting of two collagen molecules does not offset the disadvantages of misalignment of the interacting moieties. This implies that if multiple (Glu^β^βArg^+^)~3~ interactions are important in fibril formation, their lateral separations must be large enough to insure that they act independently.

## Abstract The interstitial collagens, type I and type III, were investigated in lung tissue from patients with progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) with pulmonary involvement. By use of CNBr digestion of whole tissue, the relative content of type I versus type III collagen was unchanged. This con
Selection of ideal laser parameters for tissue welding is inhibited by poor understanding of the mechanism. We investigated structural changes in collagen molecules extracted from rat tail tendon (>go% type I collagen) after tissue welding using an 808 nm diode laser and indocyanine green dye applie
