    Abstract
    Collagen is an important protein in various biological functions such as providing elasticity and waterproofing to the skin, structural stability to the cells in connective tissues (e.g. tendons, and bone) as well as stabilisation of the atherosclerotic plaque. Collagen as a peptide with a peculiar triple helix structure is majorly composed of glycine, and proline amino acids and is synthesised by fibroblasts via intracellular and extracellular mechanisms. Collagen plays an important role in wound healing, bone repair and plaque build-up during atherosclerosis. Various factors such as interleukins, insulin‐like growth factor-I, ...

    Collagen is an important protein in various biological functions such as providing elasticity and waterproofing to the skin, structural stability to the cells in connective tissues (e.g. tendons, and bone) as well as stabilisation of the atherosclerotic plaque. Collagen as a peptide with a peculiar triple helix structure is majorly composed of glycine, and proline amino acids and is synthesised by fibroblasts via intracellular and extracellular mechanisms. Collagen plays an important role in wound healing, bone repair and plaque build-up during atherosclerosis. Various factors such as interleukins, insulin‐like growth factor-I, nicotine, and glucose have shown to influence collagen synthesis. This paper provides an overview on the collagen structure, synthesis mechanisms, and the effective parameters on its stimulation. Poly-L-lactic acid as a well-known biocompatible and biodegradable polymer has proved to stimulate collagen synthesis in various physical forms. As such, in this review a special emphasis is put on the effects of poly-L-lactic acid as well as its mechanism of action on collagen synthesis.
