Publication by Paul Hiebert et al.: A lysyl oxidase-responsive collagen peptide illuminates collagen remodeling in wound healing.

Hiebert et al. used a collagen peptide sensor to visualize lysyl oxidase-dependent collagen formation and remodeling during wound healing. The probe selectively detects newly produced or remodeling collagen, but not matured collagen fibers, and can be applied for in vivo wound imaging and for discerning differential remodeling in mice with altered collagen dynamics.
