Type III Collagen in Dermal Scars

[Xittenn]

I had mentioned in a previous thread the possibility of an overabundance of Type-III Collagen as being an aiding cause in the less than complete remodeling of skin. I was 'corrected' on this subject and was told only Type-I Collagen was present in dermal tissue.

I've come across several studies which are reviewing the role of Type-III Collagen in Dermal Scarring.

 

eg. http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1163841

 

Is there anything to be said about inducing a mild and general apoptosis in a Dermal Scar with a slightly more aggressive attack on Type-III as a means of remodeling the scarred tissue????
