Abstract

The influence of native collagen-solutions on the cell cycle of human-fibroblasts was investigated. The results point out that the phase of cell-specific function is distinctly lengthened to the debit of a reduced rate of mitosis. That seems to be desirable, because the cells of the implantation-layer would produce more rapidly and augmentedly their cell-specific product--usually collagen--and incorporation of the implanted material would occur quite earlier. This effect seems also to be responsible for the promotion of granulation of "Dermodress", a fleece of collagen I for temporary covering of debrided areas (5).
