Mineralization and Alkaline Phosphatase Activity in Collagen Lattices Populated by Human Osteoblasts
Adult human osteoblastic cells were grown in a native type I collagen gel. Proliferation and viability analyses showed that cells rapidly stopped dividing and became blocked in the G0G1 phase (91% on day 13)....

Urine glycyl-L-proline increase and skin trophicity
Glycyl-L-proline (gly-pro) is an end product of collagen metabolism that is further cleaved by prolidase (EC 3.4.13.9); the resulting proline molecules are recycled into collagen or other proteins. We postulat...

A comparison of15N proline and13C leucine for monitoring protein biosynthesis in the skin
The tracers L15N-proline and L(1-13C)-leucine were used to explore the synthesis of skin proteins in vivo in rabbits. They orally received a single dose containing an equimolecular mixture of L(1-13C)-leucine and...
