Collagen - Info

We have everything you need for your collagen-related research!

Collagen is not only important for beautiful skin and healthy hair, but also for many areas of science. Together with carbohydrates and adhesion proteins, collagen forms the extracellular matrix (ECM) - the scaffold that holds our cells together. The ECM plays a crucial role in cell adhesion, migration, proliferation and differentiation, which is important for tissue development, healing and maintenance. Another exciting area of research is the role of collagen in the development and spread of cancer. Studies have shown that changes in the ECM and collagen fibres can influence tumour growth and metastasis. These findings may lead to new approaches in cancer therapy using the ECM as a target structure to control tumour growth. Ongoing research into collagen and its many functions demonstrates the importance of this protein in science and medicine.
