Linear measurement of cell contraction in a capillary collagen gel system.

Three-dimensional collagen gel contraction is the standard assay utilized for functionally quantifying a variety of cell types, in particular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and myofibroblasts. Here, we have developed a method to effectively reduce the three-dimensional parameters of the standard collagen gel into a single, linear measurement. Cell/collagen suspensions that are cast into glass capil...

A novel collagen gel-based measurement technique for quantitation of cell contraction force.

Cell contraction force plays an important role in wound healing, inflammation,angiogenesis and metastasis. This study describes a novel method to quantify single cell contraction force in vitro using human aortic adventitial fibroblasts embedded in a collagen gel. The technique is based on a depth sensing nano-indentation tester to measure the thickness and elasticity of collagen gels containin...

Modulation of collagen gel contraction by decorin.

The small dermatan sulphate protein decorin interacts via its core protein with fibrillar collagens, and its glycosaminoglycan chains were proposed to be capable of self-association. It was therefore of interest to study the role of decorin in the contraction of cell-populated collagen lattices. Stable transfection of dihydrofolate reductase-deficient CHO cells with decorin cDNA resulted in imp...

Hypertrophic scar fibroblasts accelerate collagen gel contraction.

Excessive contraction of hypertrophic scar and subsequent contracture formation are a formidable problem after thermal injury. A comparison between fibroblasts from hypertrophic scar and normal skin was made with the use of fibroblast-populated collagen lattices as a measure of cellular generated contractile forces. Hypertrophic scar and normal skin fibroblasts were mixed with soluble tendon co...

Evaluation of human allogeneic collagen gel for correction of nasolabial folds using non-invasive measurement techniques

Background: With aging, the facial folds, grooves, and sagging tissue become more prominent. It is haracterized by loss of the collagen mass in the dermis and an increased array of elastin whirls in the deeper dermis. The aim of this study was to determine whether correction of nasolabial folds could be achieved using an allogeneic collagen product. Methods: Nine healthy volunteers participated...
