The effect of different collagen types used as substrata on myogenesis in tissue culture.
The effect of different collagen types prepared from muscle used as substrata on myogenesis in tissue culture was investigated. Myogenic cells cultured on type I collagen aligned in parallel in some regions of the culture dish and single myotubes could extend for several centimetres. Myotubes grown on type V collagen did not have a normal elongated appearance and were not aligned.
