HIGH THROUGHPUT METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING COMPOUNDS REGULATING COLLAGEN I DEPOSITION IN THE EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX

摘要

Methods are disclosed for detecting and quantifying collagen proteins deposited in the extracellular matrix. A system is also disclosed for identifying compounds that regulate collagen deposition. The disclosed systems and methods are amenable to high throughput screening to identify molecules that are anti-fibrotic or molecules that facilitate the wound healing process.
