15.1 Introduction
15.1.1 Collagenous Fibrosis: Biomedical Issues
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the extracellular matrix (ECM), and plays a central role in the
formation of brillar and microbrillar networks, basement membranes, as well as other structures of
the connective tissue (Hulmes 2002). Many genetically distinct collagen types have been described so
