## Abstract ## Objective There is evidence that interleukinβ4 (ILβ4) plays a major role in the induction of extracellular matrix protein synthesis in fibrotic disease. We therefore examined the effect of ILβ4 on collagen synthesis in primary fibroblasts isolated from normal and TSK/+ mice, which s
Fibrillar collagens store, transmit and dissipate elastic energy during tensile deformation. Results of previous studies suggest that the collagen molecule is made up of alternating rigid and flexible domains, and extension of the flexible domains is associated with elastic energy storage. In this s
