The authors evaluate the chemotactic properties of collagen and collagen derived fragments, according to literature datas. In experimental conditions, collagen can be chemotactic for human blood monocytes, fibroblasts and various malignant cells but not polymorphonuclear. The meaning of these facts and their possible role in the genesis of osteo-articular diseases are also discussed.
