Fibrillar collagen

Fibrillar collagen is a type of protein that forms sturdy, thread-like structures in our body's connective tissues, such as skin, bones, and tendons. These collagen fibers provide strength and structural support, helping tissues withstand tension and maintain their shape. They are produced by specialized cells called fibroblasts and assemble into organized bundles that contribute to the durability and resilience of tissues. Fibrillar collagen plays a crucial role in wound healing and tissue integrity, making it essential for overall structural health and repair in the body.
