P.1567 left column top paragraph: "Fibronectin is located on the surface of collagens, and its synthesis increases to facilitate wound healing (Jozsa et al., 1989a, Williams et al., 1984). Additionally, tendons contain elastin, which composes about 2% of the dry weight of the tendon (primary source Jozsa et al., 1989b (see primary source section above). The elastic fibers, which comprise elastin and microfibrillar proteins, may contribute to the recovery of the crimp configuration of the collagen fibers after stretching (Butler et al., 1978)." |
