Dermal matrix is a composite. Collagen fibrils carry tensile load; elastin provides recoil; proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans fill the space between, hold water, and control how fibrils assemble and how large they get.
Summarising the matrix literature as "collagen" therefore drops most of the structure being described, and with it several of the measurements that were actually made.
Decorin binds along collagen fibrils and limits their lateral growth, which is one of the mechanisms that distinguishes organised matrix from disorganised scar. It also binds transforming growth factor beta, which puts it in the signalling pathway that governs fibrosis as well as in the structure itself.
A reported change in decorin is consequently a statement about matrix quality and about signalling, not simply about matrix quantity — and those are different things to measure.
A study reporting more collagen and a study reporting altered proteoglycan expression are making different claims that happen to come from the same tissue. Running them together produces a summary that is vaguer than either paper.
The honest reading keeps them apart: name the component measured, the method used to measure it, and the model it was measured in. The Pickart-group matrix literature is specific on these points; the secondary summaries of it usually are not.
