title: Effect of exogenous collagen I on tissue repair in the rabbit ear and regeneration of the rat liver.
abstract: Collagen type I from rat tail was tested for its effect on wound healing of 6 male rabbits and on the regeneration of liver after partial hepatectomy in 15 male rats. It had a negligible effect on the rate of wound healing and a statistically significant acceleratory effect on regeneration of the rat liver.
