## Background: Oim/oim mice [osteogenesis imperfecta model; homozygous null for the proalpha2(i) collagen gene] synthesize exclusively the homotrimeric type i collagen isotype, alpha1(i)3, and are unable to synthesize the normal heterotrimeric type i collagen isotype, alpha1(i)2alpha2(i). previous

Development of the vertebrate skeleton is a highly complex process in which collagen type II plays a vital role in the formation of long bones via endochondral ossification. Collagen type II, which is encoded by a single COL2A1/ Col2a1 gene, is the most abundant structural protein in the cartilage m
Pneumonitis followed by lung fibrosis is a frequent complication of radiation therapy of chest tumors. A hallmark of these fibrotic lesions is the excessive production and accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins such as type I collagen. In addition to TGF-beta1, IL-4 has been recognized as a p
