  2. FACIT collagen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FACIT_collagen

    FACIT collagen is found in various tissue areas to modulate the surface properties of collagen fibrils and generate tissue-specific three-dimensional patterns in the extracellular matrix. [3] For example, collagen XIV connects the fibrillar networks of the cartilage and skin, [ 3 ] and XII is found in connective tissues, particularly at the ...

  3. Hypertrophic scar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertrophic_scar

    Mechanical tension on a wound has been identified as a leading cause for hypertrophic scar formation. [3] When a normal wound heals, the body produces new collagen fibers at a rate which balances the breakdown of old collagen. Hypertrophic scars are red to brown and thick and may be itchy or painful.

  4. Scar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scar

    Scar tissue is composed of the same protein as the tissue that it replaces, but the fiber composition of the protein is different; instead of a random basketweave formation of the collagen fibers found in normal tissue, in fibrosis the collagen cross-links and forms a pronounced alignment in a single direction. [1]

  5. Collagen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collagen

    Collagen is one of the body's key natural resources and a component of skin tissue that can benefit all stages of wound healing. [21] When collagen is made available to the wound bed, closure can occur. This avoids wound deterioration and procedures such as amputation.

  6. Dense regular connective tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dense_regular_connective...

    The collagen fibers in dense regular connective tissue are bundled in a parallel fashion. DRCT is divided into white fibrous connective tissue and yellow fibrous connective tissue, both of which occur in two forms: cord arrangement and sheath arrangement.

  7. Dense connective tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dense_connective_tissue

    The fibers are mainly composed of type I collagen. Crowded between the collagen fibers are rows of fibroblasts, fiber-forming cells, that generate the fibers. Dense connective tissue forms strong, rope-like structures such as tendons and ligaments.

  8. Wound healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_healing

    Timing is important to wound healing. Critically, the timing of wound re-epithelialization can decide the outcome of the healing. [11] If the epithelization of tissue over a denuded area is slow, a scar will form over many weeks, or months; [12] [13] If the epithelization of a wounded area is fast, the healing will result in regeneration.
