Scientists solve 60-year mystery of how collagen is transported inside cells

For over sixty years, biologists were unable to explain how collagen — the most abundant protein in the human body — is transported inside cells before reaching tissues. A recent breakthrough has solved the mystery, with potentially far-reaching medical consequences. Previous models could not account for how such a large, rigid molecule fits within the cell's transport structures.
