The aim of the present study is to demonstrate the newly formed tissue in calcium phosphate (Ca/P) ceramics after extra-osseous implantation by histological and immunohistochemistry (IHC) methods. Synthesis porous Ca/P ceramics without adding any growth factor and living cell were implanted in the dorsal muscle of dogs for 1 and 2 months. Undecalcified and decalcified sections were stained by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), and IHC, respectively. The histological results showed the beginning of osteogenesis and angiogenesis after being implanted for 1 month and the obvious new bone formation after being implanted for 2 months. IHC were conducted via the avidin-biotin peroxidase complex (ABC) method and the primary antibody was collagen type I. IHC results indicated that collagen type I was expressed within osteoblast-like cells and newly formed bone-like tissue in Ca/P ceramics after 1 month, and in the mineralized matrix of newly formed bone and osteoblasts, some osteocytes and some lacunae after 2 months. No cartilage and chondrocytes were observed in the histological and IHC-stained sections. Evidence of intramembranous osteogenesis was confirmed.

Collagen is the most ubiquitous protein in the animal kingdom and one of the most abundant proteins on Earth. Despite having a relatively repetitive amino acid sequence motif that enables its triple helical structure, in type 1 collagen, that dominates skin and bone, there is enough variation for its increasing use for the biomolecular species identification of animal tissues processed or degraded beyond the amenability of DNA-based analyses. In recent years, this has been most commonly achieved through the technique of collagen peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) known as ZooMS (Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry), applied to the analysis of tens of thousands of samples across over one hundred studies in the past decade alone.

Background: Kidney fibrosis is a suggested cause of kidney failure and premature mortality. Because collagen type VI is closely linked to kidney fibrosis, we aimed to evaluate whether urinary endotrophin, a collagen type VI fragment, is associated with graft failure and mortality among kidney transplant recipients (KTR).
Methods: In this prospective cohort study, KTR with a functioning graft ≥1-y posttransplantation were recruited; 24-h urinary endotrophin excretion was measured using an ELISA method.

Introduction: Hepatic fibrosis (HF), a progressive chronic liver disease, is a serious threat to global public health. The lack of preventive and therapeutic strategies has created an urgent need for effective anti-fibrosis agents. There is growing evidence that natural products might provide safe and effective interventions for HF.

Linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LABD) is a rare subepidermal blistering disorder characterized by the presence of linear IgA deposits at the basement membrane zone (BMZ) by direct immunofluorescence (DIF). This entity was first described by Chorzelski and Jablonska from Warsaw Center of Bullous Diseases, Poland. The disease affects children and adults, whereby they differ in terms of clinical picture and course.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the collagen fiber structure of the subcutaneous fascia, a connective tissue layer between the skin and epimysium.
Methods: Fascia samples with varying extensibility were examined using biochemical and microscopic methods.
Results: Loose fascia, the more extensible type, displayed sparsely distributed collagen fibers, while dense fascia showed tightly packed collagen fiber bundles.
