Prospects for the use of collagen-containing matrices in directed tissue regeneration. Literature review
Studies of recent decades have convincingly shown that collagen in connective tissue plays not only a structural role. In the 80s of the XX centu[1]ry, A. Pishinger and H. Heine suggested the informative-regulatory role of collagen in the extracellular matrix (A. Pischinger, 1990). In recent years, the morphogenetic function of collagen has been actively studied, the implementation of which is possible due to the presence of collagen re[1]ceptors on the surface of various cell populations, such as platelets and fibroblasts. Collagen regulates the remodeling of the extracellular matrix (J. D. San Antonio et al., 2020). At the same time, its decay products, which stimulate growth by the negative feedback mechanism, are probably of great importance. In general, the relationship between the synthesis and breakdown of collagen is of fundamental importance for the regulation of connective tissue growth.
